Options

You can give each content paragraph a different appearance from the general layout. To do so, use the layout configuration in this tab.

Parameter Description
Layout
Width The maximum available width is used as standard. This is based on the internal spacing and also depends on whether you are using a sidebar and, if so, on the width of the sidebar. Enter a different value in pixels. If the maximum available width is smaller than this value, then the entered value is ignored.
Height The paragraph is displayed over the entire height as standard, taking into account the content. Alternatively, you can specify a fixed height value here. If the content exceeds this height, the value is ignored and the content displayed at the corresponding height.
Background color The depiction of non-hex web colors may vary from the original, depending on the browser.
Padding

Specify white space around the paragraph content. You can set white space separately for each page.

Enter the values in pixels (integer values) based on the following example, using spaces to separate multiple pixel entries:

  • 10 = sides are uniform with 10 pixels of white space for the content
  • 10 20 = 10 pixels on the top and bottom, 20 pixels on the left and right
  • 10 15 20 25 = 10 pixels on the top, 15 pixels on the right, 20 pixels on the bottom, 25 pixels on the left

If the value is set to 0, then there will be no padding.

Spacing between the articles A space with this height is placed between articles. By default, the first number in the Padding option is used. This option is enabled only when using the default layout.
Image quality

Select Same as image quality in template settings to use the image quality specified under Settings > General. The Normal and High-resolution options allow you to set the image quality independently of the template settings.

If High-resolution is selected, the uploaded image must be at least double the width of the image in the mailing. Example: For a 640 pixel wide image in the mailing you need an image with a width of 1280 pixels. This ensures that images do not lose sharpness during rendering of the mailing.

Layout Set the general settings for the article layouts in the general settings. If there is no content available for the selected layout, the default layout is used.
Border
Show Select if you want to apply a border around the paragraph.
Border width

Enter the thickness of the border. You can set thickness for each side individually.

Enter values in pixels (integer values) based on the following example, using spaces to separate multiple pixel entries:

  • 1 = sides uniform with 1 pixel
  • 1 2 = 1 pixel on the top and bottom, 2 pixels on the left and right
  • 1 2 3 4 = 1 pixel on the top, 2 pixels on the right, 3 pixel on the bottom, 4 pixel on the left.

If you leave the field blank, the border has a thickness of 1 pixel (uniform on all sides).

Color The depiction of non-hex web colors may vary from the original, depending on the browser.
Mobile
Width Set the width (in percent; 100% default) of the paragraph in the mobile view. If you want two paragraphs to be displayed next to one another in the mobile view, set their widths so they combine to 100%. Otherwise, the two paragraphs are displayed on top of one another with the allocated widths.
Table of contents
Show in table of contents Select to display the paragraph in the table of contents for the section.
Alternative table of contents entry Enter a heading to be displayed for this section in the table of contents. If you enter nothing, the heading from the General tab is displayed.
