This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Okay, so the idea is that I begin with [Support Example - Post Template.png]
I create a template that includes my navigation bar, a title, post body, and a widget for previous and next posts.
This is my default post layout.
Then I go into my post and write out an article which includes sections, columns of information, supporting images and other media. All as part of this particular article topic. All using the wordpress dashboard text editor.
I then load that article on the site and it uses my default post layout as it should and displays like [Support Example - Post Body with unique formatting.png]
If you're on mobile and your screen is constrained, then the columns rearrange as toolset does and everything stays organized and well presented. Otherwise everything displays like the image because it's formatted to be that way.
Am I able to do this with toolset? Or would I need to create tables or custom shortcode myself to have such a feature?
Solution:
1) Then I go into my post and write out an article which includes sections, columns of information, supporting images and other media. All as part of this particular article topic. All using the wordpress dashboard text editor.
Yes, it is possible with the Layouts plugin, please check the document I mentioned above:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-end-editing/#editing-layouts-on-the-backend
section "Editing layouts on the backend", you can edit the post content with Layouts plugin in wordpress admin side.
And when you edit/create a post/page in the WordPress admin side, there is a button "Content Layout Editor" just above post content editor, click it, you will be able to design the post content with the Layouts plugin, see screenshot Content-Layout-Editor.JPG
2) I then load that article on the site and it uses my default post layout as it should and displays like [Support Example - Post Body with unique formatting.png]
You will need to design the post body within Layouts plugin to what you want in step1), see the document I mentioned above:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/learn-how-rows-can-displayed-different-ways/
Add different layout cells to design the layout from scratch:

Currently I have a basic "post" layout that is just meant to display large amounts of text, whatever it may need to be.
Example: hidden link
This, however, is a very boring look and doesn't really make for pleasant reading or content display.
I've attached a mockup image of what I'd prefer to build.
In this mockup, the idea is that I'd be able to create a more stimulating "news" type of format for my text based posts that would load in my post template as easily as a single image or video.
Is there a way I can format my post body on a post by post basis to allow for rows and columns that would allow me to better format my text content?
