Text blocks are essential elements for adding and customizing text content on your website. Here's everything you need to know about using them effectively:

Basic Usage

• Text blocks automatically appear in empty content areas when editing
• Click the block to add text
• Press Enter for new paragraphs
• Press Shift+Enter for line breaks
• Always paste as plain text to avoid formatting issues

Formatting Options

• Highlight text to access the formatting toolbar
• Customize fonts, colors, and text size
• Add hyperlinks and lists
• Create quotes and preformatted text
• Use text highlights for underlining (version 7.1)

Background Customization

• Toggle background color on/off
• Adjust rounded corners and padding
• Add stroke (solid or dashed outline)
• Set transparency with blend modes
• Apply blur effects

Key Limitations

• No built-in underlining tool
• Doesn't support RTL text or scripts
• Special characters may cause formatting issues
• Multiple vertical blocks will merge in classic editor

Tips for Best Results

• Use a plain text editor to prepare content
• Enable browser spell checker for proofreading
• Separate merged blocks with Spacer or Line blocks
• Remove unwanted formatting using the toolbar option
• Add Spacer blocks to prevent content loss errors

Background Colors

• Version 7.1: Direct background color options available
• Version 7.0: Use Poster Image blocks with solid colors instead

Text Customization

• Version 7.1: Individual color styling for letters, words, or phrases
• Version 7.0: Colors controlled through Site Styles panel
• Custom fonts and sizes available through Site Styles

For advanced users, custom CSS can be used to extend functionality, though this falls outside standard support parameters.
