Editing text on the site

You do not need to learn markdown. When you edit a page, a committee document or album text, you use a visual editor: headings, lists, links, tables and pictures look on the page the way they look while you type, much like Word.

How pages are built from rows and columns is covered in Editing Content.

Paste HTML or a URL Directly

The easiest way to bring content from another website is to paste it straight into the visual editor. The system automatically detects HTML content and offers to convert it for you — with the option to split it into separate rows for a well-structured page. You can even paste a URL and the system will fetch the page and bring it into the editor.

See the Advanced Content Import guide for full details.
