In the Layouts editor #

1. Open Layouts > Layouts and the layout Landing Page / Home; the editor opens it in a draft.
2. Open the block palette (+ at the top left) and drag Rich text (group Basic) into the zone main. (or Text for plain text, which keeps line breaks).
3. Select the block, open the Design tab and fill Content.
4. Publish layout. The pages that use the layout show the block on their next view.

With templates #

1. Keep the text in a content item and print its rich text field, so translations and versions work as for any content:

{def $intro = fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', 93 ) )}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$intro.data_map.full_intro}
{undef $intro}

Which to choose #

Text that belongs to the page composition: the block. Text that must be translated and versioned like content: a content field.
