Paragraph & Heading Styles (Format Block)
Use the paragraph icon dropdown to define what type of content a block is: Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4, Quote, or Code. Choosing a heading level changes the size and weight of the text, but its real purpose is structural.
Why this matters: Customers using screen readers navigate event descriptions by heading level, not by how something looks on screen. Use Heading 1 for your main title (like "About the Event"), then Heading 2, 3, or 4 for the sections underneath it, in order, so screen readers can understand how your content is organized.
Styles
Styles are pre-configured formatting presets that automatically match the visual design of your event page. Click the Styles dropdown and choose from two categories.
Block Styles
Block styles apply to an entire paragraph or section at once. Available block styles include:
Text Styles
Text styles apply only to the specific text you've selected, not the whole paragraph. Available text styles include:
Templates
Templates are pre-built content blocks that go further than a single style. Insert one from the Templates dropdown (the icon next to Styles), then fill in your own text, images, and details. Available templates include:
Feature Cards: A set of cards with an image, title, and description, useful for highlighting stages, vendors, or activities at your event.
Two Columns: A simple two-column layout for placing content side by side.
Two Column Details: Balanced side-by-side panels
Quick Fact Strip: Four compact key facts.
Detail Grid: A grid for short facts like doors open time, age restrictions, or other quick details. A Detail Grid can be nested inside other content, such as under a day heading, to build a day-by-day schedule.
Schedule (Rows): Time and description rows for a single dayday heading, to build a day-by-day schedule.
Schedule (Timeline): Vertical timeline with dots for a single day
Weekend Schedule: Two-day agenda in clean day panels
What's Included: A pre-formatted block for listing what comes with a ticket or admission.
FAQ: A pre-formatted question and answer block.
Checklist: A pre-formatted list, useful for "things to bring" or similar reminders.
Tip: Templates are fully editable after you insert them. Treat them as a starting point: swap in your own images, replace the placeholder text, and add or remove items as needed.
Inserting Content
Images
Click the image icon to add a photo to your description. You can:
- Upload a new image - Uploads directly from your device. It's automatically added to your description and sized correctly for both desktop and mobile.
- Browse image library - Use previously uploaded images like a sponsor logo or your own event logo, without uploading it again. Double-click an image in the Browse tab to insert it.
Uploaded images automatically resize for mobile devices, so a large photo won't display oversized or get cut off on a phone.
Emoji
Click the smiley face icon to open the emoji picker and insert an emoji or special character into your description.
Links
Click the link icon to insert a hyperlink into your description.
Horizontal Line
Click the dash icon to insert a horizontal divider line, useful for visually separating sections of your description.
Table
Click the table icon to insert a table, then click into any cell to add your own content.
Editing Tools
- Undo / Redo - Step backward or forward through your recent changes.
- Clear Formatting - Select text and click the eraser icon to remove all formatting (color, style, and so on) and return it to plain text.
Viewing & Previewing Your Description
- Full Screen - Expand the editor to fill your screen for distraction-free editing. Click the icon again to return to the normal size.
- Preview - Opens a window showing your event description exactly as customers will see it.
- Mobile View - Shows how your event description will look specifically on a mobile device.
- Show Blocks - Adds a visible border around each content block in your description, making it easier to see the structure and drag and drop blocks into a different order.
Tips for an Accessible, Well-Formatted Description
- Use heading levels in order - Start with Heading 1 for your main title, then Heading 2, 3, or 4 for the sections underneath it. Screen readers rely on this structure to help customers navigate your description.
- Preview before publishing - Confirm your description looks right on both desktop and mobile.
- Reuse recurring images - Use the Browse tab instead of uploading them again each time.
Use Show Blocks - Allows you to rearrange sections of your description by dragging and dropping.
