Using the Text Block addon, you can add text content to your webpage. It is one of the most basic but essential tools in your toolkit.

How to Add Text Block

Open the Addons Panel by clicking on the Addons button on the Sidebar or using the plus icon found within a Row. Scroll to the bottom of the Content section and drag & drop the Text Block addon where you want to place it on your canvas. 

Text Block Settings

Now it’s time to customize your block of Text how you want. You will find the options you need by clicking on the Text Block icon on the inline editor. This will open the Text Block settings where you will be able to adjust the following:

Content

The Content tab is actually a third-party rich text editor known as TinyMCE. You can enter your Text within the large text field or simply click on the existing content and edit it directly.

You’ll also find a dropdown menu at the top-left corner with several style options like:

Headings: From here, you’ll be able to select the HTML elements you want your content to consist of. Options include H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6

Inline: Add emphasis using the options Bold, Italics, Underline, Strikethrough, Superscript, Subscript, and Code. 

Blocks: Set Text Block’s behavior as Paragraph, Blockquote, Div, or Pre.

Align: Set alignment as Left, Center, Right, or Justify.

The three-dot icon on the top-right gives you even more options to customize your Text like font size, alignment, list, image upload, and more.

Title

You can also give your Text Block a Title. Go to the Title tab on the Text Block Settings to access this option. 

Title: Enter the text for the Title

HTML Element: Set the HTML element hierarchy as H1, H2, H3, etc.

Top Margin: Set the top margin of your Title.

Bottom Margin: Set the bottom margin of your Title.

Text Block Style Settings

To customize your Text Block’s style, open the inline editor where you’ll find the icons for Typography, Color, Alignment, and more.

Typography

Click on the ‘A’ Letter icon on the inline editor to open the Typography window. Here, you can adjust the Font, Font Size, Line Height, etc for the text in your Text Block. For detailed information on Typography check out this documentation.

Color Settings

Use the Color Picker to select a color for the Text in your Text Block or simply paste the HEX Code of a specific color into the field below the Color Picker. More on Color Settings here.

Alignment

To adjust the Text Block’s Alignment, click on its icon on the inline editor. Alignment options include Left, Center, Right, and Justified.

Font Emphasis

You can also change the Font Emphasis easily from the inline editor itself. Options include Bold, Italics, and Underline.
