Rich Text

Rich Text displays formatted content such as paragraphs, headings, lists, and inline links in one element. Use it for a compact article section or a block of editorial copy.

Add and configure Rich Text

  1. Click Add, choose Rich Text, and place it in the container.
  2. Edit Content > Content > Text with the formatting controls in the rich-text editor.
  3. Set the element width under Design > Size.
  4. Configure Typography and Spacing, then check the formatting of paragraphs, headings, and links.
  5. Save your changes.

This element has no children; use its own controls.

Controls

Responsive varies by breakpoint; Hover has a hover value; Shared applies across both. Linked controls have their own reference. In conditions, = means “is” and ≠ means “is not.”

Troubleshooting

Pasted text has unexpected formatting

Review the pasted content in the editor and remove unwanted formatting before applying the element's typography.

I need to position one paragraph independently

Split it into a separate Text or Rich Text element so it can have its own layout and spacing.
