Text with image block

What do web editors use a Text with image block for?

When you have some text that goes well with an image, then the text with image block is the way to go. You get fields to edit a header and the text body, in addition to a place to add media like an image.

Which layout can Text with image blocks be used in?

Text with image blocks can be used in the one or two column layouts. They can be placed on colour background and have colour accessibility built in. If you move blocks or change the background colour after a block has been place, remember to update the block to reset the accessibility colours.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Choose “Text with Image” in the add custom blocks menu.
  2. Title: This is an administrative title that will be used to identify the block and not displayed on the website. 
  3. Header: The is an optional field to display a header above the body text. 
    • Header will be set as an H2 by default but you have the option to change it. Note: Only use H1 if this is being used as a header/title for the page. H2 for any section header. H3 to break up content within the section. Never mix and match header sizes, this will confuse screen readers and make the site less accessible.
    • You will have a choice of heading colours depending on the choice of background colour selected. 
  4. Body: This is an optional field to display a chunk of text using a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) text editor where you can type or copy paste text into. If you copy paste make sure you always clean the formatting after you paste. Do this by highlighting the text and clicking on the clear formatting icon (Tx) on the top ribbon.  This will remove any unnecessary formatting copied over from a word doc or pdf file.
  5. Image: Click on "Add media" to select an image from the media library. Note you will need to upload your media to the library prior to adding it to the block.
  6. Media Alignment: Select if you want the image to be on the right side or left side.
  7. Width: Select 50%/50% for the image to be landscape or 30%/70% for the image to be portrait.
  8. Click on "Update" to save the block.
