Elements - HTML Code
Use the HTML Code content type to add snippets of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code in the Page Builder stage. For example, you might want to add custom HTML, declare a CSS class that can be applied to an element on the page. Or, you might want to add a snippet of code for a logo, button, or banner that you received from a third-party provider.
