HTML widgets use HTML code to display a large variety of information using HTML code and CSS styling.
Tip: Coding experience is required to successfully create HTML widgets from scratch. However, some websites, such as; Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, have HTML 'embed codes' that you can simply copy and paste to use - without any coding knowledge.
Attention: World Manager does not provide any coding support (including HTML & CSS). Please consult with your web development team/contact for assistance with creating a HTML widget which requires custom code.
