Add inline HTML

This feature is available only on some Shorthand plans. To discuss adding this feature, please get in touch.

Inline HTML enables you to place custom content or formatting within your story.

To add your HTML, click INSERT HTML from the insert bar that appears above and below a text block.

A modal with box will be shown, into which you can type or paste your HTML.

Embedresponsively.com can help with generating responsive embed code for a number of tools.

After entering your code and clicking SAVE CHANGES, your code will be saved to the story, but won't be rendered in-line within the editor itself. You will see a custom HTML block in your story with a button for you to edit the code.

To see how your code renders, use the editor's PREVIEW function. Be sure to preview the story at multiple browser sizes and on different devices to ensure it renders as you expect.

TIP: We recommend writing and editing your code in a dedicated code editor (such as Visual Studio Code) and pasting into Shorthand. This will be much more efficient and provide better formatting and debugging options.
