Text Spans in CMS Text Elements in Webflow

This Webflow cloneable demonstrates the creation of text spans in CMS text elements in Webflow using some custom code and a marker in the CMS text. The full how-to post can be found on the Milk Moon Studio Blog. Clone the project here.

Below you can see the text spans in both the heading and paragraph text in a collection list, but this works the same for CMS Collection Pages. Check the project custom head and before body section for the code.

Some test copy with the span applied in the example. Just changing the color here, Click Here to see size etc. for folks asking in the comments of the post.

    });

    // Replace the original content with the wrapped content
    heading.innerHTML = wrappedContent;
