Elements - HTML Code | Adobe Commerce 2.3 User Guide (Archived)

Use the HTML Code content type to add snippets of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to the stage. For example, you might want to add custom HTML, declare a CSS class that can be applied to an element on the page, or add a snippet of code for a logo, button, or banner that you received from a third-party provider.

Add HTML code

The following example demonstrates how to embed Google Font code and declare custom heading classes that override the current stylesheet.

Step 1: Choose a Google font

Visit the Google Fonts site and choose the font family that you want to use.

Google Fonts site
Copy the generated code that is to be embedded in the <head> section of the page and paste it temporarily into a text editor.
- Embed Font code
- CSS Rule

Add the font-family rule to each heading class, enclosing the heading classes in a <style> tag.

This is the code that will be pasted into Page Builder.

<style>
   h1 {color: teal; font-family: 'Khand', sans-serif; }
   h2 {color: teal; font-family: 'Khand', sans-serif; }
   h3 {color: teal; font-family: 'Khand', sans-serif; }
</style>

Step 2: Add the code to the page

In the Admin sidebar of your store, go to Content > Elements > Pages.
Find the page where the font is to be available and open it in edit mode.
Scroll down and expand the Content section.
In the Page Builder panel, expand Elements and drag an HTML Code placeholder to a row, column, or tab set on the stage.

Use the red guideline to position the divider either before or after another content container in the row, column, or tab set.

Dragging a HTML Code placeholder to the stage
Hover over the HTML container to display the toolbox and choose the Settings ( ), icon.
In the text box, paste the embed Google Fonts code and style declarations that you prepared.

To make it easier to read, you can enter a few spaces to indent the code.

HTML code and styles
Update the remaining settings as needed (see [Change HTML code settings][#html-settings] for details).
In the upper-right corner, Save the settings and return to the Page Builder workspace.

The new font renders when the page is viewed through a browser.

Step 3: Preview the page

In the Currently Active section, set Enable Page to Yes.

Enabling the page
In the upper-right corner, click the Save arrow and choose Save & Close.
Find the page in the grid and select View in the Actions column.

Preview the page headings with the new font family

Change HTML code settings

Hover over the HTML container to display the toolbox and choose the Settings () icon.

In the text box, edit the code as needed.

This supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. Code snippets that belong in the <head> section of the page can be entered here.

The editor also provides buttons to insert special elements in the code:

Insert Widget…	Click to insert a Magento widget at the cursor’s position in the HTML text box.
Insert Image…	Click to insert an uploaded image or an image from the Gallery at the cursor’s position in the HTML text box.
Insert Variable…	Click to insert a Magento variables at the cursor’s position in the HTML text box.

Choose an Alignment to control the positioning of the code within the parent container:

Default	Applies the alignment default setting that is specified in the style sheet of the current theme.
Left	Aligns the list along the left border of the parent container, with allowance for any padding that is specified.
Center	Aligns the list in the center of the parent container, with allowance for any padding that is specified.
Right	Aligns the block along the right border of the parent container, with allowance for any padding that is specified.

In the following example, the options are set to use a center alignment for the rendered code block.
