What is the Divi Text Notation module?

Text Notation is a Divi 5 module in Divi Supreme Pro that draws a hand-made mark on part of a heading. Use it to underline a key word in a hero, circle a price, highlight an offer, strike through an old price or bracket a quote.

Split the heading into Before Text, Notation Text and After Text, and only the middle part gets the mark. Choose from seven types: Underline, Box, Circle, Highlight, Strike Through, Crossed Off and Bracket. Then set the colour, stroke width and number of iterations, and decide how much of the heading must be in view and how long to wait before it draws.

Questions about Text Notation.

How do I underline one word in a Divi heading?

Add Text Notation, put the words before it in Before Text, the word itself in Notation Text and the rest in After Text. Underline is the default Type, so only the Notation Text gets the hand-drawn line.

Which notation types are there?

Seven: Underline, Box, Circle, Highlight, Strike Through, Crossed Off and Bracket. With Bracket you also choose a Bracket Style: Left To Right, Right To Left, Top To Bottom or Bottom To Top.

How do I make the line thicker or sketchier?

Raise Stroke Width (1 to 29, default 1) for a thicker line and Iterations (1 to 5, default 2) to draw it more times for a rougher look.

When does the animation start?

When the heading scrolls into view. Animate in Viewport sets how much of it must be visible, 80% by default, and Delay adds a wait of up to 5000ms (0ms by default).

Which HTML tag does the heading use?

H1 by default. Change it with Heading HTML Tag under Heading Settings: H1 to H6, Div, Span or P.

Can I style the before, notation and after text separately?

Yes. Before Text, Notation Text and After Text each have their own font, Background Color and Display (Inline Block, Inline or Block) settings in the Design tab.

What colour is the notation by default?

#7ebec5. Change it with Color under Notation Settings.

Can the text come from dynamic content?

Yes. Before Text, Notation Text and After Text all support dynamic content.
