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.

“ArmedTruth — 10 Years of the Revolution of Dignity and Euromaidan in Ukraine” — anexhibition project by the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers(UAPP), created as a visual testimony to the events that shaped modern Ukraine.It brings together photographs taken by Ukrainian documentary photographersMstyslav Chernov and Viacheslav Ratynskyi during the Revolution of Dignity andthrough key historical moments of the past decade — from the birth of a newcivic movement to the experience of war that defines the present.

This project is about memory andresponsibility. About how truth becomes vulnerable when it is being rewritten,erased, or reduced to “versions.” About why documentary photography in Ukraineis not only the recording of an event, but also a tool of protection — of humandignity, the right to freedom, and the right to be heard. “Armed Truth” doesnot aim to reconstruct a chronology — instead, it creates a space in which theviewer can see how history passes through bodies, faces, crowds, and silence;how collective experience becomes personal, and the personal becomes part of ashared history.

Within the European context, the exhibition resonates as a conversation about a future that grows out of memory. That is why the project is presented in the programme of Café Kyiv 2024 in Berlin — an annual event organised by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Café Kyiv brings together representatives of politics, business, and culture around supporting Ukraine and discussing its European future. In this space, “Armed Truth” becomes not an illustration, but an argument: Ukraine is part of Europe not only geographically, but also through the values for which it is paying the highest price.

As a continuation of the exhibitionproject, the programme includes a public conversation about the role of mediaand documentation during war. The panel “Journalism During War,” with theparticipation of UAPP operations manager Olga Kovalova and UAPP journalistKatia Moskaliuk, opens up the questions faced by journalists and photographers:how to work in conditions of danger, how to preserve accuracy and humanity, howto resist propaganda and the world’s fatigue, and why the right to truth todayis part of security.
