Strongly Recommend Him

He has had so many experiences that he can connect the dots very quickly–he’s seen it all. (Your situation will not throw him off in the least.) Best of all, he knows “everybody” and how things work, and he knows how to get things resolved by avoiding court. Call him up just to talk. You’ll see what I mean more quickly than any review could convince you.

Rating: ★★★★★ 5 / 5 stars

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!

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.
