HTML Editor | How to adjust Settings in the Editor

When adding a file, there can be the option to adjust settings. This involves adding a link name, alternative text and determining the display size of the video or image. These options are available when adding a file from your computer (My Computer), from Brightspace (Course Offering Files) and sometimes when inserting a link (Insert Link).

In this article, you will learn:

More options will appear,

Alternative text can only be added when there is an image. Adding an alternative text is also important for the visually impaired.

  1. Link Text -  this is the text that will link to the external source
  2. Alternate Text - this is the text that will appear if your image cannot be displayed, for example, because the internet connection is too slow
  3. (Optional) This is decorative - if the image contains no information
  4.  Lock aspect ratio - to keep the size settings of the video/image 
  5.  Width and Height - to specify the width and height of the video/image
