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.

Ingredients

Makes: 1 cup | Servings: 8 at 2 tablespoons per serving

¼ cup tahini or ½ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon miso (may replace with ½ teaspoon of salt)
2 teaspoons honey, adjust to taste
1 clove garlic, chopped, adjust to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup water, adjust as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Add all dressing ingredients to a blender except for the olive oil, water, and salt/pepper.

If using sesame seeds to replace tahini, place sesame seeds in the blender with 2 tablespoons of water and blend until sesame seeds are like a tahini seed butter consistency. Add the lemon juice, miso or salt, honey, and garlic clove.

Blend ingredients for several seconds or until smooth.

With the blender on medium speed, slowly add the olive oil to emulsify. Thin out the dressing with water as needed to obtain desired consistency and yield 1 cup of dressing.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Chill until ready to serve.
