The Article element

The Article element can contain several paragraphs and images, as well as information about author, publishing date etc. It is well suited to write News Messages or Blog entries. Compared to the much simpler Content Section, an Article forms a semantic entity.

The full content of a Article is usually displayed on a Detail page that is accessed through a List. On this page, teaser elements are directly placed using the Article Teaser formatters.
