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.
The failure of Tennessee's standardized testing system is yet another reason why high-stakes testing - across the board - needs to be reevaluated. Making major, last minute changes to testing methods causes confusion and puts teachers, students and parents in a bad spot as weeks or months of preparation are rendered useless. It also calls into question the reliability of testing results when these types of distracting situations occur, placing undue and unnecessary stress on the very students who are being tested.Testing is necessary and important but should be used to measure an individual student's progress, not to create school-wide averages that put all children in the same category. Moreover, this situation is just one example of why high-stakes testing results should never be used as the logic for closing a school that is serving well many students, as current regulations allow in Tennessee.PublicSchoolOptions.org is a national alliance of parents that supports and defends parents’rights to access the best public school options for their children. The Coalition supports the creation of public school options, including charter schools, online schools, magnet schools, open enrollment policies and other innovative education programs. Additionally, we advocate for equal access without restrictions to these public schools for all children.
