Defining Snippets
To define a snippet, navigate to the blog, Manage > Manage Blog > Snippets, and click Add Snippet:
Fill in the following fields:
- Name - Informal name that will be used in a blog post to call the snippet. When authoring content you'll wrap this name in brackets to reference the snippet.
- Link URL - (optional) To link the text of the snippet when rendering the snippet, add the URL to link to here.
- Text - The text to replace the snippet with when rendering the snippet.
Click Create Snippet.
Snippets can also be edited and deleted from the snippet list on Manage > Manage Blog > Snippets.
Using Snippets
Snippets can be used when creating blog posts and will be rendered within the body of posts only (not in the title or other fields).
If you created a snippet named name, you could render the snippet by typing [name]. When the post is shown in the community, the [name] snippet will be replaced with the text configured as the content of the rendered snippet.
