The boxes are meant for raw text and simple editing. I included them for novice users because the number 1 support issue with anything that involves modifying a template involves the actual modification. (take this thread as an example - something else (vBSEO) is messing up the navbar template with terrible code (see post above) and yet of course because this mod doesn't work it must be this so everyone complains. The fact that it is just this that has made it noticeable doesn't come into the equation.)

For advanced editing, including phrases, variables, conditionals, etc, you need to edit the templates directly.

I've made it east for you, there are lots of comments in them and it is easy to follow.
