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.

Spots are limited, so RSVP today to save yours!The fun doesn’t stop there! More Community Happy Hours are coming this fall on November 13 and December 18. Be sure to keep an eye on our newsletters and follow us on Instagram @nationalsawdust for more updates!

ABOUT BKE KOMBUCHA

BKE was created by two physician scientists who study the human microbiome and plant medicine. By drawing on our knowledge of the microbial world and the intelligence of plants, paired with decades of fermentation experience, we have created a truly unique, craft, healthful kombucha that is truly good for you! All of our kombuchas have 0-2g of sugar, and between 7-15 calories.

Our kombucha is made using a ‘low-and-slow’ fermentation in our brewery. This creates a not-too-sour, low sugar product - without any added concentrates, probiotic powders, or natural flavorings. The result: a crushable, delicious, sparkling beverage that you can drink all day long.

Christopher is a certified sommelier who whose path to this non-alcoholic fermented beverage led through the world of natural wine on a journey to work with foods and beverages that are delicious and balanced while also providing a sustainably made and healthy choice for people.
