Text and style
- Text is the content. Bold, italic and links work. Type
[br]to force a line break, for example in a short heading. - Text font uses the body font or the headings font from Theme settings → Typography.
- Text size sets the size, from Extra small to Huge. Use Large to Huge for headings.
- Mobile text size changes the size on phones (screens narrower than 768 px): Small and Medium make the text smaller than Default, Large makes it larger.
- Line height sets the space between the lines.
- An empty Text block shows nothing.
Heading tag
- Heading tag (under SEO) sets the HTML tag of the text: H1 to H4, or span (the default, plain text).
- The tag tells search engines how the page is structured. It does not change the look; Text size does.
- Use H1 only once per page. On most pages the page title is already the H1. See General section styling.
How do I make a heading in a column?
Add a Text block, set Text font to Headings and Text size to Regular or larger, and set Heading tag to H2 or H3. Add a second Text block under it for the paragraph.
