Design

The Design tab of the Rich Page Editor displays the current WYSIWYG view of the transformation as you make changes to it.

When viewing your JSP file on the Design tab, JSP symbols appear in the top left of the file. To hide these symbols, go to Window > Preferences and find the Web preference. Go to Web > Page Design > Appearance > Editing Symbols and clear the JSP check box.

Note: For considerations when using GB18030 national language characters, see Using code page 1388 (GB18030).

If you want to add images to your project, it is recommended that you import them into the Web Content/Common/Images directory of your project. To import images, click File > Import > General > File System to open the Import wizard. Select the location of the image source files you want to import in the From directory field. Select the project_name/Web Content/Common/Images directory as the Into folder. When your image source files are imported, right-click the on the Images folder, and select Show Thumbnails on the Thumbnail tab in the lower right window to see the images. You can use the drag-and-drop method to copy images into the Design tab view of your transformation.
