Import Text

Introduction

There are two ways of inserting text into documents. Text can be inserted as is or converted to HTML.

For example, say you are inserting the following text into a document:

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,

And with strange aeons, even death may die."

-H.P. Lovecraft.

If this text was inserted with no changes, it would appear as above in your webpage with <PRE> tags wrapped around it. However, you would be unable to change the font because the browsers treat all text inside <PRE> tags as plain text.

If you converted the above text to HTML, it would be inserted as:

<P>

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, <BR>

And with strange aeons, even death may die."

</P>

<P>

-H.P. Lovecraft.

</P>

Now that the text is HTML, you can edit the text as you see fit.
