Click the Edges button on the toolbar to make borders of elements visible on the Design
tab. The borders will not be visible on the Preview tab or in the output.
Litmus
There are several tools to preview how email will be rendered on a variety of clients. We
recommend using Litmus. Support for Litmus is integrated into the Designer; the Send Test
Email dialog has an option to "Send to Litmus".
Emmet
Emmet is a plugin that enables the lightning-fast creation of HTML code though the use of a
simple and effective shortcut language. The Emmet functionality is available in the HTML and
CSS source editors of Connect Designer. Emmet transforms abbreviations for HTML elements
and CSS properties to the respective source code. The expansion of abbreviations is invoked
with the Tab key.
In the Source tab of the Workspace, you could for example type div.row. This is the
abbreviation for a <div> element with the class row.
On pressing the Tab key, this abbreviation is transformed to:
<div class="row"></div>
To quickly enter a table with the ID 'green', one row, and two cells in that row, type:
table#green>tr>td*2
On pressing the Tab key, this is transformed to:
<table id="green">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
All standard abbreviations can be found in Emmet's documentation: Abbreviations.
To learn more about Emmet, please see their website: Emmet.io and the Emmet.io
documentation: http://docs.emmet.io/.
