Master template
The template setup for your email design is much easier with Blocks Edit. For example, here's the Taxi syntax for editing a piece of text:
<editable name="headline" label="Headline">
<field type="text" name="headline_text" label="Headline Text"></field>
<content replace="{{headline}}">Headline</content>
</editable>
And here's the same editable text using Blocks Edit tags:
<h1 class="block-edit" data-block="headline-text">Headline</h1>
Adding Blocks Edit tags can be done via your HTML code, or via using the visual theme editor. Most of the work that you'll have to to do is removing the Taxi syntax from your code!
If you need help with your template setup, or with any part of the transition process, feel free to reach out to our support.
