# Introduction
Text type elements contain text which can be formatted using a subset of
 standard HTML tags and CSS styles, as detailed below.

 Format the text using the [`html`](#html) property.

> **Note**: To add an input element for entering large amounts of text, see [`TextBox`]($w/text-box). Input elements are available when Dev Mode is enabled.

 ### Formatting Text

 #### Supported HTML Subset

 The supported HTML tags are:

 + `<p>`
 + `<h1>`, `<h2>`, `<h3>`, `<h4>`, `<h5>`, and `<h6>`
 + `<a>`
 + `<span>`
 + `<ul>`, `<ol>`, and `<li>`
 + `<br>`


 #### Text Theme Translation

 Each text theme in the Editor corresponds to a specific set of HTML and CSS attributes:

 + **Site Title** — `<h1>`
 + **Page Title** — `<h2>`
 + **Huge Heading** — `<h3>`
 + **Large Heading** — `<h4>`
 + **Basic Heading** — `<h5>`
 + **Small Heading** — `<h6>`
 + **Paragraph 1** — `<p class="p1">`
 + **Paragraph 2** — `<p>` or `<p class="p2">`
 + **Paragraph 3** — `<p class="p3">`


 #### Inline Styling

 Text elements support inline styling via the supported HTML tags listed above. The element can contain the following attributes:

 + `style`: For example, 
     + `$w("#text1").html = '<h1 style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline">Site Title Text</h1>';`
     + `$w("#text1").html = '<span style="color: red; font-size: 10.5em"> Text </span>'`
     + `$w("#text1").html = '<p style="color: green; font-size: 16px"> Text </p>'`

 + `dir` (text direction): For example, `<span dir="rtl"></span>`


 The `style` attribute supports the following properties:

 + `font-face`
 + `font-size`
 + `font-weight`
 + `font-style`
 + `text-decoration`
 + `color`
 + `background-color`
 + `text-align`
 + `margin-left`
 + `text-shadow`
 + `line-height`
 + `letter-spacing`


 #### Bulleted and Numbered Lists

 Text elements can contain bulleted and numbered lists using standard HTML tags:

 + Numbered lists — using `<ol>` and `<li>`
 + Bulleted lists — using `<ul>` and `<li>`


 #### Links

 You can create links using the standard HTML `<a>` anchor element. Anchor elements support the `href` and `target`
 attributes. For example:

 `<a href="http://wix.com" target="_blank">Stunning</a>`

 The `href` attribute can contain all link types in the Wix `link` format.
