Snippets

Snippets are another type of editable content in Omni CMS. Snippets can be placed into any editable region inside Omni CMS, and when inserted, the snippet code becomes part of the page’s HTML. A snippet is a great way to break-up or organize content and can also give you the ability to add additional rows within one column.

When you insert a snippet in an editable region, it creates a table with cells for entering content. The table is stripped away when the page is saved. The phrase "Press enter to add more content" does not show up in the page, instead it is a placeholder to allow you to enter content under the snippet if needed.

It's important to remember you can insert a snippet inside a snippet for formatting purposes.

Some snippets that are use frequently are called Column Layout's. They are responsive boxes that move and stack according to the browser size. Layout Snippets also equally space information on the width of the page.
