Once it appears in the text block, double click on the image to pull up a menu of options. From here you can assign alt text, choose alignment, and include a caption. Click ok when finished. 

*carbonhouse recommends not adjusting the image size from this menu since most sites are responsive and therefore locking in the size can jeapordize it's responsiveness.

A horizontal line will appear in Showtime to show you where you've placed it.


FAQs

FAQ lists are a great way to break up text within a page to make it more manageable for the reader. Click on the Add Content button and choose FAQs. Click Add New to start your FAQ list. Enter a title and use the free form description field for all of the information related to that title. That information can include descriptions or simply a link off to a page on the site that can provide the user with all of the information they need, which will avoid duplication of content on the site.

FAQ Style

Description information would go here. Use the text editor to style the content as needed. You can include links with the text to direct people elsewhere on the site. 

  • Bulleted Item 1
  • Bulleted Item 2
  1. Numbered Item 3
  2. Numbered Item 4

FAQ style that uses a title that is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really long and might wrap to two lines.

This is an example of an FAQ with a very long title. 

Two Column Style

If you have a long list of items, a two-column style may be more aesthetically pleasing. Write out your list, highlight the entire text, click on the Paragraph Style in the text editor and choose Two Column style. 


Link Lists

If you have a list of items that you want to link, a link list is a far better alternative than simply writing the list out and linking within the text. Add the Link content item, click the Add New button. The Title field is where you place the word that you to display to represent your link, then enter the link in the URL field. A description field is optional. As shown below, bulleted and numbered lists are supported here as well as links within the text. Save.


Spotlight Lists

Spotlights are a fancy link list. They're a great way to incorporate images into the body of your text to make the page more interesting for the viewer.

There are multiple layout options for Spotlight Lists:

  • Wide (list view)
  • Grid 
  • Logos/Icons (used on Sponsorship page)

You can switch between the different layouts by clicking on the Edit button on the spotlight list content item and changing the layout.
