I was curious to know if there was a better way to implement html code into my perspective project without using the Markdown property? The text window is really small and the formatting is quite simple (understatement). I am writing tons of Html code in it and I don't know how to expand the editor. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks! ---

> [@OmronOmicronII](#): > > ... without using the Markdown property? I think you mean without using the **source** property of the Markdown **component**. If you open the Markdown editor you can resize it by dragging the lower right corner. You'll see the cursor change to the diagonal double-ended arrow when you're in the right spot. Beware of the "background dismissable" property of this editor. You could have created a masterpiece of markdown, accidentally click outside it or Alt-Tab to another window and it's all gone! I started editing in Notepad++ and then copy and paste into the multiline editor popup. ---

Yes thats what I mean ty. Bummer, so I will have to continue using the source property. Yeah there were a few close calls I had. Okay well hopefully at some point they design a component that is specifically tailored toward html code. Or maybe thats what the Web Dev provides...never got a chance to take a look at it ---

As a matter of interest, what are you creating that can't be done with the built-in components? ---

honestly, I want to have a better grasp of html. In school for soft dev and attempting a full stack project so might as well use it whenever I can. ---

> [@OmronOmicronII](#): > > design a component that is specifically tailored toward html code One of the design goals of Perspective is to **not have to** work with HTML and JS. That you can inject either of the latter into a Perspective page is an expert tool to work around missing features, not a general invitation to design that way. (Expect to annoy bosses/clients if you make an unmaintainable mess.) ---

Yeah maybe I'm in the wrong industry 😅
