Inserting the Template

Put {{Textbox}} into the Source Editor, or use the template inserted and search “Textbox”.

Editing the Template

After inserting it, it should look something like this:

(Insert content here)

Customizing the Template

Text

Use the “body” parameter to put text, let's put “Hello, I'm a Textbox!” into it. It should look something like this now:

Hello, I'm a Textbox!

Colors

The color parameters use HEX[1] colors, for example, #FFFFFF makes white and #000000 makes black.

Let's make the textbox pink! We will set the “bgcolor” parameter to #ff00dd, which is a very vibrant shade of pink. It should look like this now:

Hello, I'm a Textbox!

The font and color clash! Let's make the textbox's font color, or text color #FFFFFF, or white. It should look like this now:

Hello, I’m a Textbox!

Much better! Now let's make the outline a light pink. Let's set the color to #ffbdf6, which is a very light pink. It should look like this now:

Hello, I'm a Textbox!

This looks splendid! I hope this tutorial helped you with textboxes!

  1. I'd recommend searching “HTML color picker” on Google to see a color picker with copyable HEX codes for that color.
