Article body
The article body holds the bulk of the content of an article, commonly known as below-the-fold.
The content on this page is meant to look mostly like what the rendered page will be like, except for some minor spacing differences. When elements are selected, an element block will appear above the element or in its parent's one, allowing the element to be edited or its place in the article structure to be changed.
The introduction and any basic aside belonging to the article have greyed backgrounds to indicate that they are edited in the Article head page for the article.
For the details of how to edit articles, see Editing help.
