Text Block

Use Text for headings, body copy, captions, editorial notes, product storytelling, and short support copy inside sections, templates, and containers.

Setup Order

1. Write the contentAdd the rich text first so layout and typography decisions are based on the real copy length.
2. Choose the text roleUse the default heading and text styles when they match the page hierarchy, or choose a specific H1-H6 style when the block needs a clear semantic role.
3. Set width and alignmentUse fill width for normal text groups, fit-content for short labels, and max width when long copy needs a comfortable reading line.
4. Review wrappingUse wrapping controls to avoid lonely last words, balance short lines, or keep compact labels on one line when there is enough space.

Key Settings

Writing Guidance

Keep text blocks focused on one idea. If a section needs a heading, body copy, and caption, use separate Text blocks inside a Container so each part can keep the right hierarchy and spacing.

Avoid using custom typography for every block. Start with global typography and use custom controls when a campaign, hero, or compact label needs a deliberate exception.

Localized rich text and alignment

1.8.0 corrects unchanged translated starter rich text that displayed HTML tags as text. Customized section and block copy is preserved. If you previously customized a formatted translation, follow Formatted starter translations for the matching _html entry and retained older entry; changing only the HTML entry may not replace an older customization.

Announcement styling also stops overriding heading and Text block alignment elsewhere in the theme. Set alignment on the relevant Text block and review it with your actual announcement/header composition. See Latest updates for release details.
