Story Element Types

A story element is a block-level component of the text flow in a story. Examples of story elements include:

• Headings

• Ordinary paragraphs

• Specially-formated paragraphs such as fact boxes and pull quotes

• Complex structures such as interviews (an interview is a sequence of specially formatted questions and answers)

• Images, videos and audio recordings

• Embeds

• Related stories

Story element types are defined in XML files, one type per file. Standard story element types are included in the Content Store distribution, but you can modify them and/or create additional ones of your own. The following sections contain descriptions of a few different element types.
