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.
