In your experience is a good idea use Matrix addon to publish mutiple paragraph articles?
My articles are always made up of a list of paragraphs (text, image, image alignment) but I can’t say how many paragraphs will compose one article.
For this reason I thought that use Matrix add-on could be a good choice, what do you think about this strategy?

Thanks

I’ve done that before for a couple of sites and it does seem to work well. Certainly affords more control over brand/CSS enforcement that leaving one big WYSIWYG field in there allowing the client to figure out the formatting.

Thanks for your reply,
in fact, in this way, the ‘non skilled customer’ can input articles in a simplified mode.
The only question that remains is: Matrix add-on doesn’t seem to support textarea input type, am I right? So is impossibile for the customer add simple formatting (such as bold, italics, links…) to the text.

I thought it did. But I’ve not used it that way. I still use Brandon’s Wygwam field for the paragraph and just strip out a bunch of the button options - you could actually strip it down to be little more than a textarea anyway but have other configurations for other areas of the site.

Good suggestion John,
I’ll give it a try. 😉

Thanks,
