      Styling
      Text style Allows you to quickly change the look of your text by selecting a pre-formatted choice. You can select different headlines or paragraph styles.

      Headline 1-6 corresponds to h1 - h6 HTML tags.
      Text color Use this drop-down to change the color of your text.
      Your choices are:
      • Primary: The primary color defined by your portal theme.
      • Muted: The color defined by your portal theme.
      • White: Changes the color of your text to white. This is useful when using a background color other than white.

      Text color assigns predefined CSS classes for text color.

      Hinweis:
      Font color might be white by default; however, this can be updated even with "white" selected. All properties will be cleared when changing the text styles and colors.
      Display Configure the appearance of multiple components within the same column, such as an image and a text component. Select from the following options:
      • Top and bottom (default): Image appears above the other component.
      • Side by side: Image appears with the other component next to it.
      Hinweis:
      For best results, set the same display for the components. For example, if you have an image and text components in a column and want the image to appear on the left and the text to appear at the right, change the Display settings for both components to Side by side.
      Text alignment Determines the horizontal alignment of your text. Choose from:
      • Left justify
