Introduction

The Super Hero component, much like the Hero component, serves as an appealing way to highlight information, by selecting a large image to serve as a background and adding text and links or even videos on top of it. It can be used to advertise new products or simply to inform the viewers about certain things. Compared to the Hero the Super Hero offers configuations for mobile devices, scrolling effects and Search Engine Optimization.

There are also 3 similar components, called the Hero, the Hero Search and the Hero Slider.

BB Codes  

Since there is no Rich Text Editor for writing the textual content of the component, it is helpful to use BB Codes for styling. You can insert a line break or simply make some text bold, italic or red.

tab: Image

In this tab background images can be added to the Super Hero.

There are 2 image drop fields available, one for the desktop version (Image) and one for the mobile version (Image Mobile). In the Image Mobile filed, a seperate image can be added for the display on mobile devices.
