What’s a Rich Text element?

FGHFG

DDFGHDFGH

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.

1. Velvet Ice Cream Flavor

This year’s official ice cream flavor picked by a diverse group of 40 people is (drumroll please) Cereal and Milk! Before making the final decision, the choices were Cereal and Milk, Dutch Apple Pie and Scotcheroo (aka butterscotch flavor). Velvet created the product with a sweet milk flavored ice cream and honey-graham cereal swirl inspired by Kari Childs of Delaware. Try it at the fair and even buy the flavor in local grocery stores after the fair. You won’t want to miss this new flavor as it arrives just in time for National Ice Cream Month!
