The Text Span allows users to style a specific part of a paragraph. This can be particularly helpful when you want to highlight a word or phrase within a paragraph.

In this article, we will explore the different steps to give a unique style to any part of a text, distinguishing it from the rest of the content using the Text Span.

How to use the Text Span in Webflow ?

  • Select and double-click on the paragraph or heading where you want to customize the text
  • Select the text you wish to modify (a word or group of words)
