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.

Every year, there is always over 20 to 30 balloons participating. In 2005, the record was the highest at 39 balloons, but this depends on pilot schedules and sponsorships. In the past, there have been shaped balloons, such as a Santa Claus, the Purple People Eater, a large-sized American flag, and a pink monster truck. Everyone in your family will enjoy the blue Ashland skies as the hot air balloons fill the sky for this memorable weekend.
