The Base HTML section allows you to edit the HTML markup for the base page layout for forms, surveys and events.

The Base HTML represent the core aspects of the page. Its includes the required stylesheets and script files, and creates the markup to create the background, header, footer, and container that the items will appear in.

In the <head> section, external stylesheets and javascript files are included. If you need to add a new external stylesheet or javascript files then add them here.

In the <body> section, the header, logo, footer and content containers are created. You can modify this or add your own markup here to add more components to the base layout.

Remember that any changes made to the Base HTML will affect any form, survey or event that is displayed with this layout.

The markup includes swapouts like: [Title].

These will be swapped out for the relevant value when the layout is applied to the item. In this case with the Title of the item being displayed.

The most important marker, which you should never remove, is the [ContentHTML] marker. This marker swaps in the required HTML markup to create the item being displayed. If a survey is being displayed it will swap in the markup to build a survey, and so on.

You may move this marker, but do not remove it, or any item with this layout attached to it will not display correctly. You can view and edit the content markup for each type of item in the 'Content HTML' section.

The markup also includes Engage Scripting Language sections such as:

{{ Block:survey }}
<link href="/assets/css/structure1-0-0.css?v=1.0" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
{{ EndBlock:survey }}

These sections of the markup will only apply to items of the selected type. In this case, the 'structure1-0-0.css' stylesheet is only included if the item being viewed is a survey.

You should never edit any of these {{ Block }} and {{ EndBlock }} tags but you may change the internal content if you need to change how an item specific section is implemented.

When you are finished modifying the markup, press the 'Apply' button to apply it to the previewed item below.
