Layout
In Citadel, the Simple Content particle can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be, with multiple areas of support for content, titles, and more. There are even two layouts to choose from: Standard and Header. The style you see in the front end example here uses the Header style as it serves as the header of the demo's subpages.
