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!

  • asdasdsad

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 2 in the Professional Chef Diploma Program.
  • There are no prerequisites for this course.
  • The next course in this program is: Advanced Professional Chef Diploma
    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.
