About Article
Article is the new content editor integrated into LRS Antilles Content Manager. It is a product of Imperiavi.
Article Content Editor uses a “block” style format. Each piece of content, whether text, an image or video, is considered a block. Think of your content as individual units ("blocks"). that are stacked on top of one another. Each block has its own "mini" toolbar, seen below.
The Article Toolbar
While using the content editor, notice the word “Article” in gray type. Click this to return to the basic Article Toolbar.
Underneath the word “Article” our symbols of the Article Toolbar. This will always be visible. This toolbar is the "top level" or "home level" of the Article Content Editor.
+ – Click the plus sign to choose the type of content block, such as a paragraph, text, or grid. See more in the "Add Content" section below. Templates – Custom-built sites may include templates that can be added here. Ask your project manager if your site uses templates. Mobile View – this automatically changes your content to a mobile-friendly layout, so you can see what the content will look like on mobile devices. A good mobile view is very important for your users’ experience! <> This button accesses the html code for the entire page, not just an individual block.
Add Content (+)
Below are the options when you click the “+” sign from the Article Toolbar. Each of these 10 options has its own toolbar.
Paragraph – Add text
Images – Add or upload an image

Table – Add a table – Note – be sure to only use tables for data. For text and photos, use the “Grid” to add columns

Grid – Add instant design to your page – you will see options for up to 5 columns, and alternative design styles, as seen below.

Paragraph Toolbar
Adding Text
Each paragraph is a block. A block might be multiple sentences, only one sentence, a bulleted list, a headline, etc.
Click the + sign and select the Paragraph icon. An empty block will appear with a flashing cursor, ready for you to type or paste content. Once you've added text, use the paragraph toolbar to edit and stylize the content as desired.
