# Rich Text

> Write formatted text right on the page: headings, lists, links, quotes and tables.

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.

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](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/build-pages/side-by-side-layouts.md).
* **In a blog post:** the post's **Body** starts with one Rich Text. Add more from **Add Content** → **Write**. See [Blog](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/content/blog.md).
* **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.

**1. Open the page**

Sign in, open the page on your site, and choose **Edit** in the edit bar at the top.

**2. Find the spot**

Select the section next to where the new one should go. A round **+** button appears on its top and bottom edges. On an empty page, choose **Add Content** in the middle.

**3. Choose the section**

The **Add Content** menu opens with its groups. Choose the section, then select it and choose **Edit** in its side toolbar to make it yours.

For the full walkthrough, see [Add, move and remove sections](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/build-pages/add-move-remove-sections.md).

![The Add Content menu open on the Content group, with the Rich Text tile ringed.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/CiExJglj9hDwNWhX/images/cms/guides/sections/rich-text/guides-sections-rich-text-add-menu-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=CiExJglj9hDwNWhX\&q=85\&s=c0cd1e74165639362b5734708ea7ab7d)

Rich Text sits at the end of the Content group.

## Write and format

Rich Text has no editor window. Click into it on the page and type.

![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.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/CiExJglj9hDwNWhX/images/cms/guides/sections/rich-text/guides-sections-rich-text-toolbar-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=CiExJglj9hDwNWhX\&q=85\&s=611979ab1b808b6f276de37cb3e2d680)

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](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/writing-help.md).

![The AI assist window over a selected paragraph: the actions Improve, Expand, Summarize and Rewrite…, the selected text, and a suggestion with the Replace selection button.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/CiExJglj9hDwNWhX/images/cms/guides/sections/rich-text/guides-sections-rich-text-ai-assist-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=CiExJglj9hDwNWhX\&q=85\&s=e65a1c30aa6e74a89cafb6e019bdb9a4)

AI assist suggests, you decide.

## Looks you can make

![A Layout with a Rich Text column ("Why families choose us", 2 short paragraphs and a bulleted list) beside a Stats / By the numbers column.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/eWBaY8R4bYknXF5D/images/cms/guides/sections/rich-text/guides-sections-rich-text-in-column-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=eWBaY8R4bYknXF5D\&q=85\&s=c616bf795bcbe5912602029b85e901c1)

Text beside numbers, in a two-column layout.

**Text beside a section.** Add a **Layout**, put Rich Text in the wider column and a compact section, such as **Stats / By the numbers**, in the other.

![A Rich Text section with a Heading 2 "Daycare hours", a short paragraph and a 3-column table (Day, Drop-off, Pickup).](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/eWBaY8R4bYknXF5D/images/cms/guides/sections/rich-text/guides-sections-rich-text-table-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=eWBaY8R4bYknXF5D\&q=85\&s=34d1d644c4a97c28301d78c292aaf8ee)

A heading, a note and a table of hours.

**A table of hours or prices.** Type **/**, add a table, and fill in its rows.

## 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](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/site-design/custom-css.md).
