4.6.3. Editing Formatted Text

In Studio, you can edit fields containing two different types of text: Simple text fields (1), which are used for short descriptions or to specify a language, etc. and fields for formatted text (3), which are used for full-length articles, for example.

In simple text fields, you can enter a specific number of characters without formatting. In fields for formatted text, you have many more possibilities: you can format your text, insert tables, add links to other content items and much more besides. The following subsections show you how you can create formatted text items.
