* What You See Is What You Get

The Drupal system is heavily biased toward text and text manipulation. However, the ICFL realizes that e-Branch users will want to put images and colors into their sites to make them visually appealing. Since ICFL doesn't expect everybody to be HTML gurus, the e-Branch in a Box project uses the open-source, WYSIWYG, TinyMCE editor. This editor provides a Microsoft Word-like interface and automatically creates the underlying HTML code. One word of caution, WYSIWYG editors can be prone to error and are restrictive if you want to go beyond the use of text.

For users who find this interface cumbersome, it can be turned off. If you decide to go this route, the system will allow you to enter in plain text or HTML code into the body field. If you do not know HTML, the organization that writes the HTML standard, the World Wide Web Consortium, has free online tutorials (http://www.w3schools.com).
