How do I add text to my website?

Before you begin adding or editing text you must log in to Rocketspark Dashboard, go to the page editor (by clicking Editor in the top menu) and add a text block or click on an existing text box using the edit pencil. This user guide assumes that you have already read the Rocketspark Admin User Guide which provides instructions for logging into your site and creating the blocks that you add your text to. This help guide will show you how to add text, edit your heading text and edit your paragraph text. 

Note: When pasting text from another application which has styling applied to the text, the specific styling will not be applied in the Rocketspark text field. This helps to ensure you can use the font controls at a site-wide level or on the specific stack you are working on. 

Advanced users: You can add styling to the source code of the text field using the <> icon in the text editor. This allows styling code to be added which will override the stack and site-wide settings. 

How to add text: 

1. Once you've added a stack to your website, add a block. 
   
2. You will see the Add a block popup. Choose text.  
3. The following text block will appear. You can add a H1, H2 or H3 heading in the heading section and your paragraph text below. 
   
   
   
4. Once you are happy with your text, click Save on the left-hand side. 
   
   
   
5. To edit your text, click the edit pencil and make changes as needed.
