Adding the content type to your webpage
Below are the different fields you will fill in when creating General Content, and what information you should include.
Name
This is how your content type will be named within the backend of T4 and will not be publicly visible.
Content
This is where your copy goes. It should always align left. You can make small formatting adjustments via the toolbar at the top, for example -

If you copy text across from a different file, it may not format well. Make sure to select ‘Edit’ and ‘Paste as text’ from the editor in T4 before pasting.
