What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

_{Note: The term “Diploma” refers to GSL’s proprietary international programs and does not represent an academic degree or a Swiss federal (}_{eidgenössisches}_{) qualification. While based on the Swiss EFZ (Eidgenössisches Fähigkeitszeugnis) level chef apprenticeship, GSL Diplomas are not equivalent to a federal diploma. Recognition may vary by country—participants should check with local authorities or employers.}

Why people choose our courses

The course was designed in an entertaining and engaging way. It was easy to understand and allowed me to learn in the way that suits me best. The length is well balanced, and the content covers everything related to beer. I would recommend the module to anyone working in service.

Marc M.

Host, Hotel Eremitage

As a trained chef, I was able to learn a lot in this course. I especially benefited from the insights into the different fermentation processes, which opened new perspectives for me regarding flavour, pairings, and guest recommendations. The content is practical and can be applied directly in everyday work.
