Overview

The HTML editor allows cPanel users to easily edit their HTML documents from the File Manager feature. This visual HTML editor, sometimes called a WYSIWYG editor, brings powerful editing functions of familiar desktop editors, like Microsoft® Word, to the web.

This guide is intended for end-users who want a simple way to create or edit a web page. For more information on the HTML editor, read the User's Guide.

•  Note: Due to customization, the screenshots in this guide will not match the HTML editor. Likewise, some features in this guide were not implemented in the HTML editor. See the table below for a full list of features available in the HTML editor.

Use the last paste tool to paste in your content from Microsoft Word. This tool will strip your content of code that can interfere with how your content is displayed. This will also remove most of the content's formatting, so you will need use the editor tools to reformat the content.

HotLink Protection

If you have enabled cPanel's HotLink Protection feature and your primary domain account is excluded from your list of enabled hotlinks, you may not be able to see embedded images.

To view a list of domains for which you have enabled hotlinks, navigate to HotLink Protection (Home >> Security >> HotLink Protection). You will need to add your primary account's URL to the URLs to allow access list. For example, if your primary domain is example.com, add http://cpanel.example.com/.

For more information about how to manage hotlinks, read our HotLink Protection documentation.
