text/paragraph widget

[KariannMorris]

Describe the Problem

I need the capability to edit individual words in the widget. I need to link certain words or change the color and right now it applies to the entire paragraph. This is super important!

You may know this, but I did not until a month after using V4 so perhaps this will help:
If you select a part of the text in the editor UI you will get a context menu with options like bold, linking, and other basic text editing options.

Here's a video that showed me this. I'm embarrassed how long it took me to realize this was a thing as I usually don't mess with text in the actual preview editor section.

I think what many people are doing to get around not being able to color certain words is bolding them as described above (context menu when selecting the words), and then applying the colors via custom CSS.

So, for example:

strong {
   color: red;
}

It's lame, but this is also how certain things were in done V3 so I think most people are used to this workaround.

I’ve been building WordPress websites with Elementor for years, and I think Atomic Text is currently missing an essential feature.

Modern web design often requires styling only specific words within the same Heading or Paragraph. Prices, keywords, brand names or calls to action frequently need a different color, typography or CSS class while remaining part of the same text element.

Keeping a Heading or Paragraph as a single element is important, both for content management and for semantic HTML. A Heading is still one h1, h2, etc., and a Paragraph is still one "p". Styling individual words does not change the semantic structure of the page; it simply allows designers to achieve the desired visual result while maintaining clean and meaningful HTML.

Splitting a sentence into multiple Heading widgets is not a practical workflow. It makes editing more complicated, alignment becomes harder to manage, responsive behavior is less reliable, and a single piece of content ends up being fragmented into several independent widgets.

Being able to apply inline styles or CSS classes to selected portions of text inside the same Heading or Paragraph would solve this elegantly and would cover many common design scenarios without compromising the simplicity of the editor.

I hope you’ll consider adding an optional advanced mode for inline markup or source editing. It would make Atomic Text much more flexible for professional workflows while keeping the current visual editing experience for everyone else.
