Working with content

Rich text editor

Write and format text in a rich text field: the menu over selected text with its AI tools, and the / menu for headings, lists, pictures, videos and tables.

Text fields with formatting, such as the body text of a page, use the rich text editor. Your website decides how the text looks, so the editor shows its structure: headings, lists, links and so on.

Format text

Select some text, and a menu appears above it:

  • AI tools: simplify, summarize or rephrase the text, fix spelling and grammar, make it shorter or longer, change its tone, translate it, or complete the sentence.
  • Text style: normal text, or Heading 1, Heading 2 or Heading 3.
  • Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough.
  • Link: opens Add link. Type a web address, or search for a page or file in Strife. The arrow button next to the address makes the link open in a new tab.
  • Quote: turns the paragraph into a quote.
  • Lists: a bulleted list, a numbered list or a checklist.
  • Details: a section that your readers can open and close.

The menu over selected text

Some fields also have a brush button with styles your developer has set up for the text.

Insert headings, lists, pictures and tables

On an empty line, type / to open a menu of things to insert: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, List, Ordered list, Checklist, Insert image..., Insert video... and Table. Click the one you want, or press Esc to close the menu.

The menu that opens when you type a slash on an empty line: Heading 1 to 3, List, Ordered list, Checklist, Insert image..., Insert video... and Table.

The / menu on an empty line

  • Insert image... opens the media library. Pick a picture to put it in the text.
  • Insert video... opens the media library's videos. Pick one, and it is shown as a video player in the text.
  • Table inserts a table. Click the grip at the start of a row or the top of a column for its menu: insert a row or column before or after, move it, or delete it. A row can also be made a header row with Toggle header.

Your developer can add components of your own to the menu, and can choose which heading levels a field offers.

Paste a link to a video on YouTube or Vimeo, and Studio asks whether to Embed video, which shows the video in the text, or Keep as link.
