A Joomla article is a com_content record containing a title, body and publication settings. Articles are used for news, features and information pages.
What an article contains
A Joomla article may include images, metadata, tags and custom fields alongside its text. It belongs to a category and has a language, viewing access level and publication state. A Read More separator can provide a shorter introduction for list and blog views.
How articles appear on the site
An article can be reached through a menu item, category blog or list, module or another link. Routing and display options affect its address and presentation. A Joomla article is not a separate page file and does not require a particular final URL hierarchy.
Before publication, check text, access, language and the intended view. Joomla content versioning can retain an editing history when enabled.
