Using the Rich Text Editor

The Rich Text Editor (RTE) appears throughout Marketo and is available whenever you want to add or edit content. You’ll see a version of it on landing pages, programs, emails, forms, and snippets. Just click Edit Draft, and it’ll pop up to serve you.

Editor Settings

The root block element setting defines which tags wrap your content. By default, the email root block element utilizes <p> tags. You have the option to change that by following the steps below.

1. Click Admin.

   

2. Click Email.

   

3. Click Edit Text Editor Settings.

   

4. In the Email / Snippet Editor drop-down, select <div> or None and click Save. <div> is used in this example.

   

   If you have <div class=“mktEditable”></div> in an Email Template, you will see the following HTML Source behavior when you open the section and type “Text Goes Here” in the editor:
