Chapter 4. WORKING WITH PAGES AND WIDGETS
Text Block
The Text Block component lets you add “informative” text to a page. You can specify the title and body text. The Text Block component page includes a text editor that lets you apply styles and formatting to the text entered. You can optionally include “hotlinks” in Text Block components.
To add a new Text Block component:
-
On
the Page Settings screen for the desired page (see
Creating and Editing Pages
for more information), select Text Block
from the Select Component menu for the desired page block.
- The Text Block Component page displays.
- Enter the content for the component in the text box.
- If desired, use the formatting toolbar to format the text (see Using the Formatting Toolbar for details).
- Use the Font Color color picker to select the desired font color
for the text block font (see
Using the Color Picker
for details).
NOTE: If you do not wish to specify a Font Color, the font will be displayed using the default font color for the currently selected color theme.
- Use the Background Color color picker to select the desired
background color for the text block (see
Using the Color Picker
for details).
NOTE: If you do not wish to specify a Background Color, the Text Block background will be displayed using the default background color for the currently selected color theme.
- Use the Flush in template checkbox to indicate whether or not the
page block should be flush with adjacent blocks on the page.
- A checkmark indicates the page block will be flush with adjacent page blocks.
- An empty checkbox indicates the page block will not be flush with other page blocks.
- Clicking the text box repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
