The content elements

This chapter will describe the basic set of content elements provided by the TYPO3 CMS core. It will show you a description, screenshots of the backend fields and a screenshot of the frontend rendering, only styled with the basic styling provided by the static template “Content Elements CSS (optional) (fluid_styled_content)” described in chapter Using the rendering definitions.

The screenshots of the fields are made with the extension configuration option “Show only a minimum set of editing fields” SET TO OFF as described in chapter Configuration.
