Link styling in email HTML editor

[Elana_Shama]

In the new email editor, how do I edit the styling for links? There's no option for editing the class styling, etc. Also, is there a way to edit the styling for all links in a specific email?

This functionality is now in the new editor. I highly recommend you switch to using the new editor, as the legacy editor will not be supported indefinitely.

You can still style links by opening the editor, going into the HTML, and then adding the class, styles, etc by writing directly in the code. You need to know basic HTML styling to accomplish this, but its almost identical to the knowledge needed to add styling using the old editor. The old editor was easier because it listed the option and you could put the code there, but it's not that different.

We had the same problem with our links. In the new text editor there is no advanced tab to add the styling. And any existing emails that we edited had the styling removed. For now we have gone back to the legacy text editor until we know how to style our links using the new version.

Hi Ally,

Could you please tell me how you reverted back to the legacy text editor?

Not a big fan of the new editor - finding it very annoying that styling in my existing emails is being removed.

Many thanks,
Halid

Hi Halid,

I actually disabled it in: Admin > Email > Email Editor Settings.

I had not heard of Jon's suggestion above but good to know!

Go to Admin, Treasure Chest, and disable "Enable upgraded TinyMCE"

Thank you! I'm definitely going to turn the new email editor off and go back to the old one until the HTML code button is on the top row and you can customize the style of links/pics/etc...without having to mess with the CSS or HTML.

The TinyMCE editor is great for WordPress...not for Marketo!

Hi Elana, Mike,

to add to Mike's helpful answer, you can also edit the text colours and other styles with css in the advanced tab, for ex. color: blue;

Hi Elana,

You can edit the styling of the link by editing the hyperlink - click on the advanced tab - and edit it in the "style field"

For example, if you want to get rid of the underline just type in text-decoration: none

Hope this helps,

Mike

+1, I can't believe in-element styling has been taken out - it will impact a lot of our templates.
