Is it possible to overlay items in Elements? Something like the circles below or the text over an image.

Whilst I’m asking, is it possible to have multi formatted text like the following. Text formatting of a Heading only allows a single format or colour.

We don’t have this in the current beta, however, we have plans for this so stay tuned 😃

Right now the text editing in Elements doesn’t support this. The text editor in Elements does support more advanced editing like multi formatted text, it’s just not shown right now. It will be added in an upcoming beta 🙂

Cool, thanks. At one time we used Freeway and it was very slick being able to do things like this.

I discussed this today with @ben and we’ll see some fancy new components to do this effect soon. Stay Tuned!

Will the text editor support Markdown any time soon?
