Fancy Text
Fancy Text draws attention to a key phrase with one of three effects: a highlight shape, a gradient fill, or rotating words. Optional static text can sit before and after it. This module works in Divi 5.
How to add the Fancy Text module
- Add a section and row, then add the Fancy Text module.
- Enter the before and after text, and the fancy text or the rotating words.
- Pick a Fancy Effect and style it in the Design tab.

Tip
Use the Rotating Words effect in a hero headline, for example "Build faster / smarter / together". Keep each word a similar length so the layout does not jump as they cycle.
