Newsletter editor tools

For Custom Editor users.

A newsletter is written on the LianaMailer editor. See below for a list of all the available tools.

Icons that are gray become available in certain situations. For example, a link can be created by highlighting text and then clicking the link icon [], whereas the cell properties of a table are only available when the cursor is inside the cell.

Additional styles can be found from the Styles dropdown menu if they have been defined for the template. The formatting for the text is chosen from the Format menu, a text is either a normal paragraph or a heading.

  Bold, italic, underline and  strikethrough

  Text alignment to left, right, center or full

  Cut, copy, paste, paste from a Word document. These features are not available on the editor, so the commands are done by using the combinations ctrl+x (cut), ctrl+c (copy) and ctrl+v (paste) and in Macs by using command+x (cut), command+c (copy) and command+v (paste).

You can paste formatted text from a Microsoft Word document by using combinations ctrl+shift+v (PC) and command+option+shift+v (Mac).

Insert link

If you wish, you can enter a title for the link in the Link title field. The title is intended to provide additional information for the link. It appears in most browsers in the information bubble when the cursor is over the link.
 
If you want a new window for the link content to open for the link clicker, check Open in new window.
 
Select the Link as a button if you want the link to be a button that matches your layout.

Delete link

If you want to delete a link, highlight the text and click the Unlink icon.

Add email link

You can add an email link with pre-filled email content to newsletters. You can utilize this function, for example, when collecting contact requests. In this case the recipient can click the link that results in their email program opening with a new email draft that has the pre-filled information you have given, such as recipient, title and body of text.

Choose the part where you want to add the link in the newsletter editor. 

Click the Add link / Edit link icon in the editor and after this choose the Email tab.

Fill in the form with the information that you want as the pre-filled content of the email when a reader clicks the email (mailto) link.

Anchor links

Anchors are like bookmarks at a certain spot of an individual website. If you create a link and refer to an anchor link on the same page, the page will automatically jump to the spot where the anchor has been set.

Insert an anchor to the part of the text where you want the link to lead:

1. Paint the text with your mouse
2. Click the Insert anchor/Edit anchor button on the toolbar []
3. Give a name to the anchor. Make note that umlauts, spaces or special characters cannot appear in the name.

A created anchor is displayed as a red flag icon [] in the editor. On the page itself, the anchor is invisible and only starts to work when an actual link is directed to it.

Create a link to the part from which you want to jump to the anchor:

1. Paint the text with your mouse
2. Click the link tool []  and open the Anchor tab in the window
3. Choose the anchor you previously created from the dropdown menu
4. Click add link
