Creating HTML Files

You can create HTML files using HTML markup or plain text. When creating HTML files, you can hand-code HTML or you can use the HTML Creator. HTML Creator offers an easy, graphical interface for applying formatting, such as bold type, and for inserting images and links.

NOTE: Depending on administrator settings, the HTML Creator may not be available or it may appear by default.

Step 1: On the Course Menu, expand My Tools.

Step 2: Select My Files.

Step 2: Click Create File.

Step 3: Enter a name for the file.

Step 4: To use the HTML Creator, click the Enable HTML Creator button.

TIP: If the HTML Creator does not appear (or you see a red X), you need to get Java. Reference the articles on Java and in this knowledge base for further details. 

Step 5: In the Content text box or the HTML Creator editing area, enter your content.

Step 6: Click Save or Save and Add Another.
