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.

Through the eMobility Microgrant Initiative, Evolve partnered with local nonprofits, Community Champions, and Corporate Catalysts to award funding to grassroots eMobility projects that address community mobility needs in Houston’s historically underserved neighborhoods. As one of nine Community Champions selected through a public nomination process, Ed Pettitt, Graduate Research Assistant at the Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice, will review microgrant applications, advocate on behalf of environmental and energy justice communities, and identify projects that maximize value and impact for their neighborhoods.
