Firstly well done Jeremy XWAY looks great and I like the way it works & can’t wait to seem the rest of it as it rolls out.
I have read the manual and notice that the HTML Markup from the menu hasn’t been implemented yet.
Is there a workaround for this heres an example I have in one of my Freeway sites for the favicon which I add before
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I use things like that a lot.
Cheers
Anthony
Hi Anthony,
There isn’t a way to do that at present, I’m afraid. (Unless you edit the source code, but Xway will overwrite that next time you publish.)
We’re planning to add generic HTML markup in the next beta version of Xway.

Hi Anthony,
Although you can’t currently add markup items to your Xway page output you can add a simple JavaScript function that will add these for you. I did something similar on this test page I put together last week although the code I used was quite specific to the items I wanted to load. Specifically the script loaded jQuery and the Font Awesome fonts.
Below is a rewritten function that should work with any markup items you want to add to your page. Simply copy and paste the code below into your Xway inspector in the JavaScript Markup section.
The part you will need to edit starts with the ‘Add your code here’ comment.
Each block of code you want to add should be in the format;
xAdd(‘Your HTML code here’);
with ‘Your HTML code here’ obviously replaced by the code you want to add.
By default this will add the code to the page . If you want to add it to the page simply add on a second parameter called ‘body’ like this;
xAdd(‘Your HTML code here’,‘body’);
Just make sure that you don’t add single quotes (') in your HTML code and you should be OK.
function xAdd(e,n){var d=“head”;“body”==n&&(d=“body”);var t=document.createElement(“div”);t.innerHTML=e,t.querySelectorAll(“*”).forEach(function(e){document.getElementsByTagName(d)[0].appendChild(e)})}
window.onload = function(){
/* Add your code here *//* Add code to the page head */
xAdd(‘’);/* Add code to the page body */
xAdd(‘This is a span added to the page body’,‘body’);
}
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the code snippets!

I think you mean “can’t currently add generic HTML markup”
You absolutely can add markup items.

Hi Jeremy
That’s brilliant, thanks very much. I was concerned that would have limited me too much.
cheers Anthony

Sure, but only to the page body (unless I’m missing something).

In Xway (and Freeway) terminology an item is a box that is added to a page, and a markup item is a box that contains markup (“Insert/Markup Item” in Xway and Freeway).
What you’re referring to (in Xway/Freeway terminology) is generic HTML markup (“Page/HTML Markup” in Freeway).

Hi Tim Sorry I meant to thank you as well.
