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.

Last week, a former official at the National Alliance of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) and a self-proclaimed education reformer, tweeted an offensive and insensitive analogy, likening the country’s virtual schools – which serve thousands of students – to thalidomide.

What is thalidomide? It was a drug used in the 1950’s that caused severe birth defects and public outrage, and was later banned.

How can someone who claims to be part of education reform, whose foundational principal is parent choice, be so grossly insensitive and disrespectful to the thousands of parents across the country who choose this option, and whose children are benefitting from virtual school?

Adding insult to injury, last week NACSA released a deeply flawed report about virtual schools that recommends eliminating parent choice and giving power back to bureaucrats to determine who can and can’t attend public virtual schools.

Between the report and this tweet it’s clear that NACSA and their friends don’t respect you or your children’s education.
