Q+A Article Body Content

Q+A Article Body Content

Adding body content to a Q+A article is very similar to

  1. Locate the Body Content section in the editor of your Q+A article.

  2. Click the Add New Section button to insert a new content block.

  3. Choose the block type.

Block Types

For Q+A / Interview style articles, we recommend starting the body content with a Text section, with an introduction of who is being interviewed and why, before adding the individual questions and answers (Q+A sections) that comprise the interview itself.

Text

For paragraphs, headings, lists, and links.

  • Text is the standard content section type, and supports formatting like bold, italic, links, lists, and more.

  • You must have at least one Text section per article.

  • Images can no longer be inserted in text sections. To add media to your article, add an Individual Media or Media Gallery section.

 

Q+A

Specifically used for styling individual pairs of questions and answers, which will display as an attractive and readable format in the article:

  • In Beatrix, the Q+A section behaves identically to the Text section, the main difference is how it will appear on the website.

  • An individual Q+A can be “featured” which will apply a distinct background to the question and answer, giving it enhanced visual weight over the others.

Quote

For adding extra emphasis to quotes that appear in the article.

  1. Enter quote text

  2. Max 500 characters per quote.

  3. Select attribution: Yale Person, External Person, or None.

Table

For tabular data.

  • A Table Heading is required for accessibility.

  • The Table Heading can appear in the article above the table, or you can toggle it off to hide it with the Display Table Heading toggle.

  • A table will appear in the field by default. The top row is a header row to ensure accessibility, and will have slightly different formatting.

  • Use the Insert row above and similar options to add new rows or columns to your table

The options for adding new rows or columns to your table

  • Ensure all table cells have data

    • Blank table cells and merged table cells are always accessibility issues

  • These fields appear similarly to Text sections, but only support tables

  • Only enter one table per Table section

  • Validation will ensure the table is accessible and other content is not entered outside the table

Individual Media

For images, videos, or audio.

  1. Select an existing media item or upload your content in the selected block.

  2. For images, select the desired aspect ratio for the image.

  3. Generally, you should enter at least one Text section between each individual media item for best reading experience.

Media Gallery

For multiple images and/or video

  1. Select all images and/or video you want to appear in the gallery from the Media Library, or upload new ones.

  2. Add the gallery section to your article.

  3. The gallery will appear as an infinitely scrolling gallery with a progress indicator for readers to know how many items there are in the gallery.

  4. Note that audio is not permitted in galleries.
