HTML Elements and Attributes
Rich content is expressed using a limited set of HTML elements and attributes. In the GUI and Web interface, rich content is applied using commands and toolbar buttons; however, HTML source can be copied and pasted into rich content fields. In the CLI and CSS files, rich content is applied and styles are defined using the HTML elements and attributes. Detailed information about CSS and HTML is beyond the scope of this guide.
