## Add Text To Your Arrangement

Drag the element of text to the right place in your arrangement. This element is a text editor that you can type or paste text into. When pasting the text in the editor, you can choose to paste it as plain text (for example from Notepad), or as text from Word.

Shaping and editing text

Through the options in the editor it is possible to shape the text. By hovering your mouse over the icon, the editing option will be exposed. From left to right, from top to bottom, the following options are possible:

Include video in the text

You can insert videos into your text. This can be done directly with the link, for example with a stable URL from Youtube. This can also be done with embed codes. This last option is particularly useful for films from other sources.

1. Click on the video icon
2. The video insertion screen is displayed
3. Paste the URL or the embed code of your video here
4. Click OK

After this, your video will be in the text, aligned to the left.

Include image in the text

You can include images directly in the text.

1. Click on the image icon
2. The 'Image Properties' screen will be displayed
3. Paste the URL of the image here or select an image from your PC using 'upload' in the right tab
4. Fill in the properties of the image
5. Click OK

After this, your image is included in the text. If you want to change this later, you can do so by right-clicking on the image and choosing 'image properties'.

You can also easily change the size in the text. If you hover your mouse over the image, a black square will appear in one of the corners. With the help of this square, you can make the image larger or smaller by dragging.

Note: Including images in a text has disadvantages. Images that are included as part of a text are not recognizable as separate elements in your arrangement. If you want to edit images, you will need to open the text element in which the image is included. You also can't 'loosely' give the image a different place in your arrangement.

If images are inextricably linked to a piece of text or if you want to be flexible in the size at which your image is displayed in your arrangement, including the image in a text element can be a good solution.

If this is not the case, it is preferable to include them as independent objects in the arrangement. See "Include Image" in this Manual.

#####

Include, change or remove link in the text

With the link icon you can include a link in the text.

1. Select a word or piece of text
2. Click on the link in the toolbar
3. Enter the URL of the link in the pop-up window
4. Click on 'target window' to indicate whether the link should open in a new window or not.
   Note: preferably choose 'open link in a new window'. If you click on the link, a new window will open next to the one you have in front of you. Or use 'whole window'. If you close the link, the original window remains. If a link opens in the same window, this has the disadvantage that the original window is no longer visible. As a result, the user can easily 'get lost' or unintentionally close the entire Wikiwijs program when closing the window.

5. Finish with 'OK'.

To remove a link, select the linked text and click on the broken link icon. This breaks the link.

#####

Include link as a button in the text

You can show a link as a button. After selecting this option from the editor, a screen will appear in which you insert:

- the text for the button and

- the website url of the link.

After clicking 'OK' you have created a link as a button.

Include mathematical formulas in the text

A formula editor is included in Wikiwijs Maken. This makes it possible to include formulas in text elements, individual questions and exercises/tests.

Working with a formula editor does take some practice. In the editor itself, and also in this manual, you will find a link to a wiki.

1. Start the formula editor via the appropriate icon
2. A pop-up window will now appear in which the formula can be specified (see wiki for instructions and characters to use).
3. In the lower part of the screen you can see how the formula will eventually be displayed.
4. Type in your formula and click OK.
5. Your formula will initially always be shown in a standard font size and font. The font size, color, and formatting of the letters can be adjusted once the formula is in the text box. You do this in exactly the same way as your normal text: select the formula and choose the right formatting, font size, and color.

Include a sound clip in the text

It is possible to include an audio clip directly in your text.

1. Click on the icon for 'audio'
2. Choose whether you want to add a link to an audio clip (tab 'information image') or upload a file from your own computer (tab 'upload')
3. When you're done, click 'OK'.

The audio file is now in your text. Your sound clip can be played directly in your arrangement. If you want to change the audio clip later, go to the relevant text element and right-click on the audio symbol in your text. The properties screen will then appear again.
