Rich Content Editor¶

The Rich Content Editor in Paquet Builder allows you to create and customize content with rich text formatting, Internet links, and images, for installer dialog boxes. For example, use it to edit the content of the Welcome page or the Readme and EULA pages.

The editor supports both WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) mode and Markdown mode.

Visual and Markdown Tabs¶

The editor provides two tabs:

1. Visual Tab: Edit content with a graphical interface, similar to word processing software.
2. Markdown Tab: Edit content in raw Markdown format.

Switching between tabs automatically converts the content between rich text and Markdown, as shown below:

Key Features¶

• Validate Changes: Ensure you click OK to save changes.
• Live Preview: Click Preview to see how the rich content will render in the installer.
• Import Files: Import RTF, plain text, Markdown (MD), or HTML files.
• Export Files: Export your content to text, Markdown (MD), or HTML files.
• Image Support. See below

Add Images¶

Insert images into your dialog boxes in PNG or bitmap format. PNG is recommended due to its smaller size and compression benefits.

• Click the Add Image button to select and import an image file.
• The selected image must reside in the same directory as your project file. If not, Paquet Builder will copy it to the project directory.
• The image will also be referenced in the Loader Temporary Resources.
• Use the Preview button to verify that the image is correctly loaded and displayed.
• Images are always centered relative to the text.

Using Variables and Resource Strings¶

You can include resource strings and variables in your content. These placeholders are replaced with actual values during runtime.

For example: - %APPTITLE% will display the package's title in the installer.

Content Format¶

Paquet Builder stores all content in UTF-8 format to support Unicode, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of languages and characters.
