I'm trying to create hotspots for most (if not all) of my
procedure titles. The hotspots work fine, but the hotspot text
(drop-down Text Editor) can't be written in raw HTML. Is there a
workaround? If not, is there a way for me to apply hotspots to
specific HTML tags?
The content of the dropdowns appears immediately below the
body tag for the page. You should be able to locate the dropdown
there and work in html via the true code / html view of the topic.
Is there a reason you need to do this via the html rather
than WYSIWYG?

Actually, besides what Peter said, the
content of your hotspot is at the top of the body area, but
note that RH has assigned an ID to that content. That ID is called
where your popup link has been placed in the topic.
When editing the HTML in TrueCode mode, always be careful not
to mix up those numbers if you have multiple hotspots in the same
topic.
I can totally see how I could confuse the IDs as the location
of the drop-down text is in a very strange location in the html.
Also, I have multiple drop-down hotspots in the same topic. Thank
you for the warning!
Thank you! I didn't look in that location as I was expecting
the tag somewhere else. Thank you! I like the html/code view
because I can see what's going on. The editor doesn't format as I
expect sometimes, so I just prefer correcting the html rather than
fight with the editor. Since my drop-down text includes nested
lists, I'd just prefer to write in raw html. If I just had a para
for drop-down text, then I'd use the editor because the editor
seems to get that stuff right. Thank you.
