Raw HTML
With Sandvox Pro you can add Raw HTML pages and pagelets to a site. This allows you to use your own completely custom HTML code within a standard Sandvox page or pagelet. For some Raw HTML pagelet ideas, have a look at the "Raw HTML pagelet examples" article.
The ability to use custom HTML code is an advanced, pro-level ability of Sandvox. Because of the extent of HTML and the many ways in which HTML can be incorporated into a Sandvox site, Karelia does not attempt to provide its own HTML tutorial, nor can it provide specific troubleshooting advice related to an individual user's HTML code.
If you would like to explore the possibilities that using HTML in your Sandvox site presents and need some assistance, we encourage you to visit the following third party sites that specifically address HTML issues:
