I have a content area where the client is going to have to choose whether it is a title or just main text area, but I dont want them to have many other option so that this doesnt turn into a bad myspace type page. It will look like this
Title 1
then this is the main text that will below it.
How do I go about limited the options then can do in the content blocks.
Thanks for the help.

Best Practice for controling the style options in content block
Re: Best Practice for controling the style options in content block
Go to Extensions -> TinyMCE -> Advanced. Look for the section called "Blockformats in dropdown-menu:"
Hmm... I noticed that 'p' isn't there by default. I guess it could be added. I think that this would be confusing if it wasn't an option.

Why not just provide two areas for them to enter text.
The first (a one line area) for a title.
The second a text area where they can enter text.
{content block='title' oneline=true assign='title'}
{content block='sometext' assign='sometext' wysiwyg=false|strip_tags|nl2br}

Thanks guys.
Sorry Wishbone, could you explain what that would do a little more.
and
thanks Cal Guy I have though about that but this is for quick stories on the home page and I wanted to give them the option to see everything in the content box similar to how it would look on the site, and more importantly they will only have a limited amount of space here and it would be easy if I could tell the client if the title is two lines you have four lines of regular text. But if you use only one line for the title you can use 5 lines of text.
Maybe you guys could let me know how I can limit the number of characters or something like that. Im still new so any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy

Re: Best Practice for controling the style options in content block
Sorry I figured it out, if I make a smaller stylesheet for this page it will only list the styles I would like them to see. Before I had made a much larger stylesheet with every font listed. This will give me a little more control. It still gives them the options to change fonts and stuff but I guess I will just try to explain to not touch that.
Thanks for the help.
