Why is my text overlapping?

I’m new to Wix and EditorX, but I’ve built websites with HTML and CSS before. I was wondering why are different text elements overlapping each other? And why is it that when I add a new text element, it goes right to the top of the section on top of existing text? Is there a way to make them inline instead or a different way to insert the text? I’d expect the it to push the other text and content below it down like when designing a page with HTML, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. I’m putting text elements in the same section as each other. Using containers around them doesn’t seem to help because they still overlap the same. I must be missing something. I don’t want to have to manually reposition the whole page every time I change the content.

EditorX works on the section > container > stack / group principle. If something is overlapping content above or below it, check your heights and max-heights, and then check for negative top and bottom margins.

Take a screen shot with the text block that is overlapping another selected with the inspector open, please. Perhaps I can spot an issue.

Thanks, Teejay

Piggybacking on imateejay but would also suggest to use grids and stacks to keep things organized. There are lessons in the Academy as well if you’re new and want to learn more about the features.
