Add HTML text to a slice
When you choose a slice of type No Image, you can enter text to be displayed in the slice area of the resulting web
page. This can be plain text or text formatted with standard HTML tags. You can also select vertical and horizontal
alignment options. For more information on specific HTML tags, see an HTML reference.
Photoshop does not display HTML text in the document window; you must use a web browser to preview the text.
Be sure to preview HTML text in different browsers, with different browser settings, and on different operating
systems to confirm that your text is displayed correctly on the web.
Note:
The amount of text in a No Image slice can affect the layout of an exported page.

Creating web photo galleries
About web photo galleries
A web photo gallery is a web site that features a home page with thumbnail images and gallery pages with full-size
images. Each page contains links that allow visitors to navigate the site. For example, when a visitor clicks a
thumbnail image on the home page, the associated full-size image is loaded into a gallery page. You use the Web
Photo Gallery command to automatically generate a web photo gallery from a set of images.
