Every RocketTheme template has its own set of content styles, these styles are known as Typography. Typography can come in a number of varying and diverse formats, ranging from simple text modifications to image insertions to improve the look, layout of your website and give it life. This tutorial will take you through the necessary steps to adding typography to your Joomla! content.
Inserting Typography with the HTML Editor
To insert the Typography into your content, you must use the HTML feature of all Joomla! content editors. The following tutorial will outline the steps in which to do this with the default Joomla! content editor, TinyMCE. Please be aware, even though there are other content editors available, all are basically the same and the steps would be just as effective if you are using another Content editor.
[span class=attention]Please note that the following tutorial will show you how to insert HTML (typography) into Article, the same procedure is apparent for Content Items and Custom modules. You may skip steps 4 and 5 if you are using No WYSIWYG editor or if you are using RokCandy.[/span]

Step 3 – Article Manager
When you have selected the Article Manager link, you will be sent to the Article Manager control panel. Select either Edit (after selecting a particular content item) or New, depending on whether you want to add typography to an existing or new item.
Step 4 – HTML Icon
To add typography to your content, you must enter the HTML mode of your Content editor. In the TinyMCE editor, this is an icon called «HTML», in some other content editors, it is a tab. Press the icon to enter HTML mode. This step is not necessary if you are using No WYSIWYG editor.
