Creating HTML slices

An HTML slice designates an area where ordinary HTML text appears in the browser. An
HTML slice does not export an image; it exports HTML text that appears in the table cell
defined by the slice.
HTML slices are useful if you want to quickly update text that appears on your website
without having to create new graphics.
To create an HTML slice:
1.
Draw a slice object and leave it selected.
2.
In the Property inspector, select HTML from the Type pop-up menu.
3.
Click Edit.
4. Type text in the Edit HTML Slice window, and format the text if desired by adding
HTML text-formatting tags.
Alternatively, you can add HTML text-formatting tags to the HTML after it has been
exported using a text editor or HTML editor such as Macromedia Dreamweaver.
5. Click OK to apply your changes and close the Edit HTML Slice window.
The text and HTML tags you entered appear in your Fireworks PNG file on the body of
the slice as raw HTML code.
HTML text slices may vary in appearance when viewed in different browsers and on
different operating systems, because font size and type can be set in the browser.
