📋 What It Is

A versatile tool for adding, editing, and styling blocks of rich text within your page layouts. Think of it as the classic text content editor built into Elementor.

✍️ Core Features

• Text Input & Formatting

  • Supports basic text editing features like bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, lists, alignment, and hyperlinks.

  • You can switch between a visual editor and a text (HTML) view to fine-tune your content.

• Dynamic Content Support

  • Enables the insertion of dynamic fields (e.g., post titles, user data) via the dynamic tag option, making content context-aware and template-friendly.

• Column Layouts

  • Allows splitting content into multiple columns (e.g., two or three), adjustable for desktop, tablet, and mobile views for responsive design.

• Drop Cap Feature

  • Option to enable a drop cap—an enlarged first letter with customized styles including size, spacing, color, border, and typography variations (stacked or framed).

🎨 Styling Capabilities

• Typography Settings

  • Adjust font family, size, weight, transform (uppercase/lowercase), style (italic/oblique), decoration (underline, strike-through), line-height, and letter spacing.

• Text Color & Alignment

  • Set text color using a color picker or global colors.

  • Adjust text alignment: left, center, right, or justified.

• Responsive Control

  • Customize how text appears on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, with options for adjusting column count, spacing, and alignment per device.

🎛️ Usage & Workflow

1. Drag and Drop

   • Add the Text Editor widget to any section or column.

2. Edit Content

   • Type or paste text directly in the widget, switch between visual and HTML modes as needed.

   • Apply inline formatting or click to expand the toolbar for additional options.

3. Layout Options

   • Insert a drop cap if desired.

   • Split text into columns and adjust spacing between them.

4. Style

   • Move to the Style tab to refine typography, color, alignment, and drop cap styling in detail.

5. Responsive Adjustments

   • Use device-specific controls to ensure readability and alignment on tablets and mobile devices.

💡 Best Practices

• Paste clean text using plain text or the HTML tab to avoid unwanted formatting.

• Enable responsive controls to tailor text layout per device.

• Use drop caps sparingly to highlight key sections without overwhelming the design.

• Keep column usage simple for better readability and responsive flow.

• Leverage dynamic tags if you need reusable text elements across templates.

✅ Ideal Use Cases

• Blog & body content – for paragraphs, lists, quotes, and inline visuals.

• Landing pages & sections – for structured content, intros, or feature highlights.

• Styled text intros – with drop caps and multi-column layout to create visual interest.
