# headliner:text {#integration-text}

For the **rich text of a row as an array**.

A data processor such as `database-query` gives each row as an array in `data`; an array knows nothing of its table or its
field. `headliner:text` names them around the text, so the page module can find the headings in it:

```html
<f:for each="{items}" as="item">
    <headliner:headline.row row="{item.data}" />
    <headliner:text row="{item.data}">
        <f:format.html>{item.data.text}</f:format.html>
    </headliner:text>
</f:for>
```

Name the table and the field when they are not found by themselves:

```html
<!-- the content element has no inline field for the table, and the table has two rich text fields -->
<headliner:text row="{item.data}" table="tx_myext_item" field="bodytext">
    <f:format.html>{item.data.bodytext}</f:format.html>
</headliner:text>
```

Only `row` is required:

| Argument | Required | When you need it | Without it |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `row` | yes | Always: the row as an array. Its uid (in a translation `_LOCALIZED_UID`) names the record. | (required) |
| `table` | no | Only if the content element has **no** inline field for the table, or two of its fields would give different tables. | The table of the inline field of the content element (the field with this table as `foreign_table`), to which the row points with its `foreign_field` |
| `field` | no | Only if the table has **several** rich text fields. | The one rich text field of the table |

For a visitor the content comes out as it is; for the request of the page module every heading in it names the record and
the field. Without a table or a field that can be found, or without a uid, there is no mark.

**Or turn the rows into records.** The core's `record-transformation` processor, nested below `database-query`, puts a
record next to each row, by default as `record`. Then everything above works as for a Content Block, and
`headliner:text` is not needed: the headings in the text are marked when the record is created.

```typoscript
dataProcessing {
    10 = database-query
    10 {
        as = items
        table = tx_myext_item
        pidInList.field = pid
        dataProcessing {
            10 = record-transformation
            10.table = tx_myext_item
        }
    }
}
```

```html
<f:for each="{items}" as="item">
    <headliner:headline record="{item.record}">{item.record -> f:render.text(field: 'title')}</headliner:headline>
    {item.record -> f:render.text(field: 'text')}
</f:for>
```
