RapidWeaver has a built-in auto-formatting feature. The feature if very handy to have, though conflicts with HTML code occasionally and in a way that is a little tricky to spot for new users.

unformatted quotationsWhat will occur is the quotation marks will format and style themselves to look nice for text. They will appear curly on closer inspection instead of straight up and down. This will cause a conflict and the HTML tag will break. The example quotation mark in the corner is the example that you want – straight not curly.

Unfortunately to identify this you’ll either have to have great eyesight, get very close to the screen, or use CMD + + to enlarge the text after you’ve first highlighted it. Remember how many times you have clicked the CMD + + command because you’ll then have to CMD + – that many times to return it to size if you want your Edit Mode layout to look pretty.

To protect this from occurring highlight all HTML and use the built-in Ignore Formatting command CMD + . That will not always protect, but has helped me in many occasions and is a best practice I always recommend.

If that does not fix the issue then it’s most likely your HTML code is being typed incorrectly or there is a conflicting code that is interfering (such as CSS, JavaScript or jQuery).

Movable Windows

Move beyond the confines of static content layouts! Movable Windows allows your page visitors to effortlessly drag and reposition custom content windows anywhere in the browser viewport. Windows can be minimized to free up space and stay fixed to the browser viewport so they are always accessible.

Resize & Minimize

Windows can be resized to take up more or less space, or maximized to fill the entire screen. But that’s not all – these windows are like handy sidekicks, always ready to assist. Need quick reference? No problem! Windows can be minimized when not in use, saving precious screen space for what really matters – your page content.

Inline

Open windows stay fixed on screen so they are always accessible. Minimized windows have three modes to choose from. “Inline” keeps it in line with other content, “Fixed” is always on screen, and “Draggable” lets you move it around while minimized.

Customizable

It’s not just about functionality; it’s about style too. Customize your windows by size, position, and color. Add in text, images, forms, links – you name it! Want a little more flair? Allow window resizing, choose whether they start minimized or open, change the toggle icon, or hide the window title when minimized.
