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.

Go Back Farther in History

Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum

See Native American artifacts, 18th and 19th century Ohio firearms and tools, Chinese and Japanese artifacts, and the Newark Holy Stones. The Newark Holy Stones were allegedly found at the Newark Earthworks, ancient burial mounds made by people of the Hopewell culture, by David Wyrick in 1860. The stones are controversial because the Hebrew words carved into them lead some to believe that they’re biblical artifacts, though there’s a wide consensus that they’re the subject of a hoax.

Coshocton, Ohio is a small town with a lot of history to explore. Roscoe Village takes you away from the current era and surrounds you with a glimpse at the canal town of the 1800s and what life was like at that time. Don’t miss this sneak peek into a small piece of history.
