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.
My Life Online
Sharing my life online feels pretty routine these days. The bottom line is that it’s part of my job. You could easily assume that I don’t have much of a filter, that because I grant people so much free access into my life, I’m happy to share anything and everything. I consciously make decisions on where I draw the line though, I’ve had a number of experiences that escalated, one where I had to involve the police… so the reality is that I take my privacy very seriously.
Some might say live by the sword, die by the sword, and it can be a fine line to tread. Context is everything. I’ll talk on stage in front of a few hundred people about personal aspects of what it’s like to be transgender, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll tell someone I just met in a pub all about my back story, or answer every question that I ever get asked if I do.
For me, it’s about control. It might seem like I make it up as I go along, however the fact is I’m the one making decisions, perhaps subconsciously and in a moment, but I have control of my privacy. I get to choose what I disclose, with whom, and when. People only see what I choose to show them, what I’m comfortable with, and nothing else.
