All of the following code elements are added to each individual featured content image in the Featured Content Image "Headline/Action Text" field:

Type your text in the Headline/Action Text field and wrap any combination of the following formatting tags in curly brackets:

{{ }}

||||

formats the text following the 4 pipes as regular text

|||

formats the text before the 3 pipes as a pre-headline

||

formats the text following 2 pipes as a sub-headline

|

creates a line break in the text

overlay

Removes the colour block behind the text

gradient

bars

formats the text so each line has a separated background

text_top

positions the text at the top-center

text_middle

text_left

You can also use these in combination. For example:

size_sm

size_md

size_lg

image_top

image_left

aligns the image to prioritize the left edge

image_right

aligns the image to prioritize the right edge

image_center

aligns the image horizontally centered

image_middle

Upload a video file (no larger than 2mb) under files of the page you would like the video to display in the featured content slider of. Then under the featured content slider "Headline/Action text" add the following tag between the {{ }} and without the file extension (ie. .mpg)

video:filename

Upload an image/logo file (no larger than 2mb and preferably .svg) under files of the page you would like the logo to display in the featured content slider of. Then under the featured content slider "Headline/Action text" add the following tag between the {{ }}.

logo:filename.svg

Under the featured content slider "Headline/Action text" add the following attribute, between square brackets [], where you'd like the icon to be displayed:

icon:icon-name-goes-here/icon

Don't forget to add the square brackets "[]"

Go to fontawesome.com and search for the icon of your choice. (Only free font awesome icons are available for use unless you have a pro account)

Click the name of the icon to copy it and paste it in place of "icon-name-goes-here". Keep "/icon".
