Media with Caption Paragraph
The Media with Caption Paragraph Type allows you to easily showcase an image or video and provide a caption.
The Media with Caption is made up of four parts (all content is optional):
- Media Item (image or video)
- Caption
- Link (*only works with images)
- Link text (*required if you add a Link)
Images in Media with Caption are cropped to a 2:1 ratio.
Note:Stanford identity guidelines state that web content editors should include captions for images where appropriate and photographer credit where possible.
How to add a link to a Media with Caption image
You can add a Link and Link text to the Media with Caption so that clicking on the image OR the Link text under the image will redirect users to the URL you enter. Note: The Media with Caption Link and Link text only work with images, not video.
Using the Media with Caption paragraph, Add media and a Caption. Paste a link in the Link URL field and enter the text for the link in the Link text field.
