With this alone you can influence the design of the document significantly, without having to edit HTML and CSS.
HTML/CSS
The document layout is divided into multiple elements (snippets), each of which can be edited in HTML/CSS.
On the left side, you can select the element you want to modify. The order of the elements is also the order of the HTML/CSS.
HTML
This defines the document layout (what is displayed and how it is structured) using HTML and Apache Velocity.
The "Variables" menu provides various variables that can be inserted, such as document number, names, addresses, etc.
Basic knowledge of HTML and optionally Apache Velocity (for more advanced features) is required. Users without experience should consult a web developer with basic knowledge of these languages.
Reset to default
If a system layout is edited, this option resets the HTML to the default settings. If the layout inherits from another layout (see "Inherits from" above), the HTML will be reset to match the inherited layout.
CSS
This defines the document's design (colors, fonts, positioning, text sizes, etc.) using CSS.
The "Fonts" menu offers various font options that can be freely used in the document (license-free).
Basic knowledge of CSS is required. Users without experience should consult a web developer with basic knowledge of this language.
Reset to default
Works the same as in the HTML section, restoring the default CSS settings.
