Short text

A single line of plain text. This is the default control, used for titles and any token that is not inferred as something more specific.

When it is used

Short text is what you get by default. Put a token in a heading, a link label, or anywhere inline, and unless nanoesis spots a more specific use, it becomes a single-line text box.

It is inferred, so you rarely ask for it by name. Reach for it for titles, names, labels and other short, one-line values.

Example

A token in a heading becomes a single-line box:

<h1>{title}</h1>

In the editor

In the editor this is a single-line text input: no formatting and no line breaks, just a short value.

If you need more than one line, use text; for formatted body content, use rich text.
