What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

What I love most is its Markdown note-taking feature, which allows you to include snapshots of diagrams directly in the canvas. Clicking on these snapshots takes you straight to the relevant diagram section.

As a proof of concept, using Eraser I manually built out a VMWare validated design which is a fairly complex conceptual design for NSX-T Network Virtualization in an enterprise environment. ... I put this whole thing together in under an hour. Pretty wild.

What does larger scale software development look like?
