Configuration options and settings

When adding or editing a Text block, a modal tool bar will provide various styling options. Here are the key configuration choices you can utilize:

• **Font tag**: Select a font tag (paragraph or headings H1-H6) for your text. The sizes for these tags correspond to your page's theme.

   - Choose preferred fonts for both **Headings** and **Body** through their respective dropdown menus.

All font changes will be saved automatically upon selection.

Best practices and tips

- **Utilize Clear Formatting**: Make use of bold and italic text to emphasize important points, but avoid overusing these options as they can overwhelm the reader. - **Consistent Styling**: Stick to consistent font sizes and types throughout your landing page to maintain visual coherence. - **Add Links Strategically**: Use hyperlinks judiciously to direct users to relevant resources without being intrusive. - **Preview Before Publishing**: Always preview your page before publishing to ensure that your text appears as intended across different devices.

Common use cases with examples

The Text block can be used in diverse scenarios, including:

- **Product Descriptions**: Highlight features and benefits of a product directly on the landing page, integrating relevant links for more details. - **Call to Action**: Utilize a Text block to create compelling calls to action that encourage visitors to take specific measures such as signing up or purchasing. - **Content Updates**: Inform users about changes or updates related to your offerings by posting announcements directly on your landing pages.

Troubleshooting section

If you encounter any issues while using the Text block, consider the following solutions:

- **Styling Not Applying**: Ensure that you are saving your changes by clicking the checkmark button. Sometimes, lack of visibility in the editor may cause edits to appear unresponsive. - **Text Not Displaying**: Check that the visibility settings of your page are correctly set. If a page is in 'draft' status, published changes will not reflect visibility.
