Rich Text lets you write and format words straight on the page. Use it for anything that is mostly words: an introduction, a policy, a list of what to bring, or a blog post. Who can do this: anyone who can edit the page. The FetchskiAI writing tools are for Editors, Admins and Owners. The Custom CSS button is for Admins and Owners.
A Rich Text section on Parker's page as visitors see it: a Heading 2 "What to bring on day one", a short paragraph, a bulleted list (leash, vaccination records, a favorite toy).A Rich Text section on Parker's page as visitors see it: a Heading 2 "What to bring on day one", a short paragraph, a bulleted list (leash, vaccination records, a favorite toy).

Headings, a list, a link and a quote, styled to match your site.

When to use it

  • For a block of text between designed sections, such as a short welcome or a note about holidays.
  • For long text, such as a policy or an FAQ answer that needs a list.
  • In a column beside another section, through a Layout section.
  • In a blog post, where it carries the body of the post.

Where you can add it

  • On a page: Add Content → Content → Rich Text.
  • In a column of a Layout section: click the Layout on the page to select it. At its top, choose Edit Content (its other mode, Edit Columns, changes the columns). Then choose Add Content in a column and add Rich Text. See Side-by-side layouts.
  • In a blog post: the post’s Body starts with one Rich Text. Add more from Add Content → Write. See Blog.
  • Below a post: Add Content → Content → Rich Text in the post’s After content.
Interior pages, the ones made with the Default Page type, also have a narrower Content area below their sections, at a comfortable reading width. It takes Rich Text, Image and Video. In edit mode, scroll below the page’s last section and choose its +. Or open the page settings window (More Options → Edit in the edit bar), and find Content on its Basics tab.

Write and format

Text selected inside a Rich Text section with the formatting toolbar ringed just below it: the style menu, Bold, Italic, Strike, Link, Bulleted List, Ordered List, Blockquote, Code Block, Horizontal Rule, AI assist, Undo and Redo.Text selected inside a Rich Text section with the formatting toolbar ringed just below it: the style menu, Bold, Italic, Strike, Link, Bulleted List, Ordered List, Blockquote, Code Block, Horizontal Rule, AI assist, Undo and Redo.

Select text to format it.

The toolbar appears when you select text.
  • Text style: Paragraph, Heading 2, Heading 3 or Heading 4.
  • Bold, Italic and Strike (crossed-out text).
  • Link: link the selected words to a page or a web address.
  • Bulleted List and Ordered List (a numbered list).
  • Blockquote sets a quotation apart from your text. Code Block puts text in a shaded box, in your site’s Accent / mono font, keeping its exact spacing, such as instructions to copy.
  • Horizontal Rule: a dividing line.
  • AI assist: rewrite the selected text with FetchskiAI.
  • Undo and Redo.
The insert menu opens when you type / on an empty line. From it you can add an image, a table (or build one from a CSV file, a spreadsheet saved as plain text), a dividing line, or Write with AI. Shortcuts while you type. Start a line with one of these, then a space:
  • ## for a heading
  • - for a bulleted list
  • 1. for a numbered list
  • > for a quote
Paste formatted text. Text copied from a document or a web page keeps its headings, lists and links. Text written in Markdown, the plain-text style many writing apps use, turns into formatting as you paste it.

Write with FetchskiAI

FetchskiAI can help with the words.
  • Select text, then choose AI assist to improve, expand, summarize or rewrite it. You see the suggestion first, then choose Replace selection.
  • Type / and choose Write with AI to draft new text, or continue what you wrote, right at the cursor. Choose Insert at cursor to keep it.
Nothing changes until you accept a suggestion, and one Undo takes it back. See Writing help in rich text.

A heading, a note and a table of hours.

Good to know

  • Start your headings at Heading 2. The page’s main heading comes from its Page Header or Hero, so Rich Text offers Heading 2 to Heading 4. Use them in order, without skipping a level.
  • Write link text that makes sense on its own, such as “See our daycare prices”, not “click here”. Screen reader users often jump from link to link.
  • The look comes from your site. Fonts, sizes and link colors follow Site design, so text matches everywhere. Change them on its Typography, Colors · Brand, Colors · UI and Colors · Status tabs.
  • Custom CSS. Rich Text has no editor window, so its custom styles open from the Custom CSS button on its side toolbar. See Custom CSS.
