How to use text components in page templates

In any page display template, you can add a Text component in order to display text. This can be used for any page type (custom page, session page, speaker page, etc.).

The Text component will pull information from the workspace using metadata. For example, in an agenda session display template, you will use a Text component in order to display the session Description in the session page in the app, using the content metadata.

Below is a session display template with a text component, configured to pull the content metadata for the session:

Below is a session page seen in the pp, with the session Description text, as pulled by the content metadata used in the text component in the display template:

This above textual content is in fact pulled from Backstage, from the Description field in the agenda session.

In the session's Description field, you can use the toolbar to fully format your text, including using:

• Headers
• Text formatting
• Links
• Bullet or numbered lists
• Text indents
• Images that can be copy and pasted in
  For images: For the best display, please upload images with a maximum of 1736 pixels wide. If the image is wider than 1736 px it may stretch. If it is smaller, it will maintain its aspect ratio but won’t fully cover the space. Therefore, if you intend to use the full width of the screen for your image, we recommend that you use an image that is 1736 px wide.
