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.

In the BBC's centenary year, its flagship children’s programme, Blue Peter will be getting a new garden. The New Blue Peter Garden: Discover Soil invites everyone to discover soil and the vital role it plays in our ecosystems. The key message of the garden is "Don’t treat soil like dirt! It’s complex and alive - we couldn’t survive without it."

Taking you down, beneath the ground to see its subterranean workings and bringing soil up to eye level where you can see, touch, smell, and even hear, compost, this brightly planted, multi-layered garden will introduce both children and adults to the role soil plays in supporting life and how it can be preserved and used in our fight to reverse climate change.

"I wanted the garden to be a space where children can inhabit their own world, an imaginary world, because I think it’s so important that we help children to imagine. That’s what’s going to help them in future, to be able to think outside the box and develop their creativity." - Juliet Sargeant, Designer
