@richtext

Add editable rich text areas with Typography styling support

The @richtext directive creates an editable text area that supports the Typography feature for rich text styling. This allows users to apply theme-based text styles, formatting, and typography settings to their content.

Syntax

@richtext("identifier", title: "Display Title")

Or with a default value:

@richtext("identifier", title: "Display Title", default: "Default content")

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
name	Yes	A unique identifier for the rich text area within the component
title	No	The label displayed in the editor interface
default	No	Default content to display when no content has been entered

Examples

Basic Rich Text Area

@richtext("content", title: "Typography")

With Default Content

@richtext("heading", default: "Hello World!")

Article Content

<article>
    <header>
        @richtext("title", title: "Article Title", default: "Untitled Article")
    </header>
    <div class="content">
        @richtext("body", title: "Article Body")
    </div>
</article>

Hero Section

<section class="hero">
    <div class="hero-content">
        @richtext("heroTitle", title: "Hero Title", default: "Welcome")
        @richtext("heroSubtitle", title: "Hero Subtitle", default: "Discover something amazing")
    </div>
</section>

Using @richtext Inside an @each Loop

You can use the @richtext directive inside an @each loop to create unique editable rich text areas for each iteration. The loop index is automatically appended to the identifier, ensuring each rich text area remains distinct:

@each(item in items)
    <div class="card">
        <h3>@richtext("cardTitle", default: "Card Title")</h3>
    </div>
@endeach

In this example, if the loop iterates three times, it will create three unique rich text areas, each independently editable with full Typography support.

Typography Integration

The @richtext directive integrates with the Elements Typography system, allowing users to:

• Apply predefined text styles from the theme

• Adjust font family, size, weight, and line height

• Set text colors from the theme palette

• Apply letter spacing and text transforms

• Use responsive typography settings

When users click on a rich text area in the editor, the Typography panel becomes available, providing access to all text styling options defined in the active theme.

When to Use @richtext

Use @richtext when:

• Content needs theme-based typography styling

• Users should be able to apply text styles from the Typography panel

• The text is a prominent element like headings or featured content

For simpler use cases:

• Use @text for plain text without styling (labels, simple headings)

• Use @markdown for structured content with Markdown formatting
