About Region Types

HTML

When you select HTML, the wizard prompts you to select one of the following:

• HTML - Functions as containers for items and contains the HTML you provide. Any HTML you type may contain substitution strings.

• HTML Text (escape special characters) - Same as HTML region, but the Application Express engine escapes special characters before they are rendered.

• HTML Text (with shortcuts) - Same as HTML region, but with support for shortcuts.
