Rich Text

The Rich Text Component supports a variety of text formats inside of one content block. Studio Users can format text, including bold, underline, and italics, as well as text alignment, color, and size. Content can include bulleted and numbered lists. Individual words can also be hyperlinked

Ideas for Using Rich Text

Make your content pop with color. Set a background color that contrasts well with your font color. Then add content padding and 0px Placement padding to allow the section of text to bleed on the sides.
Create a headline with Rich Text by placing it above another Component, such as Card Carousel, Tabbed Content, or Square Avatar Card.
Create a caption by placing Rich Text below an Image or video.
Write a long content piece, and add bold and italicized words to call out important details of the article.
Provide company contact information by adding links to phone numbers and emails.

Rich Text Properties

The Rich Text Component has the following properties:

Component Id
Content

Component Id

This sets the name of the Rich Text Component in the experience. The Component Id can be referenced using JavaScript to add more functionality to the experience as needed.

It is a best practice to use only letters without spaces for the Component Id. Symbols, spaces, and numbers are not recommended.

Content

Studio users can choose to add content to Rich Text by adding Content from Text or using the Rich Text Editor.

Selecting Content from Text will automatically pull in the reusable text along with its formatting you designated when creating the text.

Using Rich Text Editor
If you've selected Rich Text Editor, click the "Edit" button to add content. Once you've added your content, you can bold, italicize, change the alignment of the text, and more.

You can also select your desired paragraph formatting options in the Rich Text Editor. The paragraph formating options will display the font styles for H1 through H4, and paragraphs that you set up in Branding. This means it will automatically pull in the font, color, and size you designated for each of these headings, making creating experiences even faster.

Watch: How to Update Branding

You can see in the example below the paragraph formatting options for H1 through H4, and paragraph display a preview of what the text will look like. Make sure you update App Builder to v2.0.7 or above, Page Builder to v6.1.9, or above, and update your applicable Component Sets to take advantage of this functionality.
