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.

  • This is course 1 of 3 in the Culinary Training Program.
  • There are no prerequisites for this course.
  • The next two courses in this program are: Culinary Professional and Culinary Expert
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

It was incredibly easy to complete the Global Swiss Learning online portion of the course due to the additional webinars with the instructors. I always had the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback whenever I needed it.

The best course I have ever seen. You can work and learn a lot online. I can study when I have time. I was able to apply 80% of what I learned immediately in the kitchen. I would love to continue learning other subjects.

Platform is easy to use. You can find exactly what you’re looking for and it’s well structured. I want to continue learning with it.​ You can learn on a laptop, tablet or smartphone.​ I’ve learned a lot so far—technical knowledge. Now I know some 'whys.'
