What Is the Rich Text Element?

The Rich Text Element empowers you with advanced formatting capabilities directly within the editor. The all-in-one text box brings advanced formatting including headings, block quotes, inline code, multi-level lists, and highlight colors.

Because everything lives in a single element while using  the same sidebar as the Paragraph element, you can style content faster. Unlike basic paragraph elements, it allows you to seamlessly switch text styles, add block quotes, highlight text, and insert code blocks without needing custom HTML or CSS.

Key Benefits of Using the Rich Text Element 

Enhance your content creation experience with these major advantages:

• Easy Formatting: Effortlessly switch between paragraphs, headings, and styles
  
  

• Advanced Lists: Create organized content with various bullet styles (disc, circle, square), and numbering formats (numeric, alphabetic, Roman numerals)
  
  

• Highlighting and Quotes: Emphasize important content with customizable highlights colors and block quotes
  
  

• Markdown-Style Shortcuts: Type >, `code`, or ``` to auto-create quotes and code blocks
  
  

• No Coding Required: Eliminate the need for third-party tools or HTML blocks, improving workflow efficiency
  
  

• Zero Learning Curve: The sidebar matches the existing Paragraph element, so styling feels familiar

Sidebar Styling Options

Everything you can tweak in a Paragraph block—fonts, size, line-height, shadows, animation—works here too, so your Rich Text stays perfectly on brand.

• Typography: Choose font family, weight, size, and line spacing.
  
  

• Spacing: Adjust margin and padding for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
  
  

• Effects: Add drop shadows or entrance animations.
  
  

• Visibility: Show or hide the element on specific devices.
  
  

• Advanced: Apply a custom CSS class for theme-wide overrides.

List Item Spacing (Rich Text & Bullet Lists)

List Item Spacing controls the vertical space between individual list items, independent of text line height. Adjusting this value improves scannability for longer lists and ensures comfortable spacing on different devices.

Key benefits

• Readability: Reduces visual clutter in dense lists.

• Mobile comfort: Adds breathing room for small screens.

• Precision: Fine-tunes spacing without altering paragraph line height.

How it works

1. Select a Rich Text or Bullet List element on the page.
   
   

2. Open the Style panel → locate List Item Spacing next to Line Height.
   
   

3. Drag the slider or enter a value to increase/decrease space between list items.

Tip: Use Line Height for paragraph spacing inside a list item, and List Item Spacing for the gap between items.

Supported elements: Rich Text, Bullet List. *(Additional editors—Email/Blog—NEEDS CONFIRMATION before listing here.)
