The Articles|Text Page
The Articles|Text page allows you to construct the content of the selected article that will be read by the user.
You can create an article using a feature-rich rich text editor. The rich text editor allows you to format your article using standard typographical effects (e.g. bold, italics, underline, strikethrough), bullets, text alignment, several fonts and font sizes. The rich text editor allows you copy content from Microsoft Word directly into your article as well. You are also able to insert tables, images and URLs to direct readers to other related sites.
The editor also allows you to link to specific on-sale performances or bundles, as well as other articles and miscellaneous items. The editor allows you to view the HTML source code to perform edits when required or desired.
The editor also provides a few templates to choose from to assist you in formatting your article easily.
