04

Paste the code to your TYPO3 website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your TYPO3 website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the TYPO3’s editor.

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your TYPO3 website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Highlighted Headlines widget to your TYPO3 website. You can do this by putting it straight into your TYPO3 website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Highlighted Headlines widget when you want to emphasize specific words or phrases inside your titles so visitors understand the key idea instantly. Color bands, underlines, or animated highlights create a visual hierarchy within a single line, guiding the eye to the most important term. This is helpful on landing pages, sales sections, and content hubs where many headlines compete for attention. Instead of rewriting copy to shout louder, you use design to clarify meaning. Done well, highlighted headlines make scanning easier, keep your style consistent, and support a stronger story around what truly matters in each section.
