Editing a text gadget
Text gadgets contain text in HTML format. The Edit Text Gadget—Text Settings appear when adding this gadget to a dashboard or editing it, as shown in Figure 3-19. An HTML text editor appears, providing text formatting options.
You can type text directly in the HTML editor which formats the text. Along with text formatting options, the HTML editor supports adding HTML links to text and editing the HTML source code of the text.
The text gadget displays text. If you need to add JavaScript, custom HTML code or CSS code, use an HTML gadget.
Dashboard designers can customize how the gadget appears on the dashboard using the Edit Text Gadget—General options. For more information about filtering, see Setting general gadget options, earlier in this section.
