The latest version of Joomla, Joomla 3 offers a wide range of options for developing various types of content as well as for structuring that content in your website. But, today we will focus mainly on creating Joomla articles.

After clicking on “Add New Article”, a WYISWYG editor will appear which can be used to format new article text, add images & links to it and much more.
