Rich text – Boostheme Help Center

Overview

The Rich text block is an advanced text component that supports formatted content such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and inline styling.

Unlike the Text block, this block allows multi-format content inside a single block, making it suitable for longer or structured content.

Where to use this block

Use the Rich text block when you need:

Multi-paragraph content
Headings mixed with paragraphs
Lists or structured content
Editorial / storytelling content
Policies, product descriptions, FAQs, or long-form text

For simple single-line or single-style text, consider using the Text block instead.

How to add this block

Open Theme Editor.
Add or select a section that supports blocks.
Click Add block → Rich text.
Enter formatted content and adjust settings.

Text content

The Rich text editor supports:

Headings (H1–H6)
Paragraphs
Bold / italic / underline
Links
Bulleted and numbered lists
Line breaks

Layout settings

Control width and alignment independently for desktop and mobile.

Width

Fit content — block width follows content size.
Fill — block stretches to available width.
Custom — define width percentage manually.

Alignment

Set text alignment separately for desktop and mobile:

Left
Center
Right

Typography settings

Font size scale

Adjust overall text size from 50% to 150%.

Line height

Separate controls for headings and paragraphs:

Auto (theme default)
Tight → Airy spacing options

Text case

Default
Uppercase

Text color

Text — uses theme foreground color
Button — uses button text color
Custom — choose any color manually

Truncated text (Read more)

Allows long content to be collapsed with a Read more toggle.

Enable truncated text — turn truncation on/off
Visible height — visible content height before collapse
Read more label — customize the toggle text

Appearance settings

Background

Add a background behind the content:

Solid color (with opacity)
Gradient background

Border

None
Solid
Dashed

Adjust:

Border width
Border opacity
Corner radius

Corner radius applies when background or border is enabled.

Padding

Control inner spacing of the block:

Top
Bottom
Left
Right

Tips for best results

Use Rich text for structured or long-form content.
Use Text block for simple text or headings.
Avoid very large font scale with narrow custom width.
Ensure important content appears within visible height when using truncated text.
Test both desktop and mobile layouts when using custom width.

Common mistakes

Text appears cut off

Increase Visible height or disable truncated text.

Layout looks too narrow

Change width from Fit content to Fill.

Text spacing looks too tight or too loose

Adjust heading or paragraph line height.

Color not matching theme

Switch color from Custom back to Text (theme foreground).

Common use cases

The Rich text block is commonly used for:

Product descriptions with multiple paragraphs
Brand story / About us content
Policy pages (Shipping, Returns, Warranty)
FAQ or informational sections
Editorial / storytelling content
Marketing copy with headings and lists
Long-form content inside tabs, accordion, or content sections

Limitations

Does not support custom HTML or scripts (for security and performance reasons).
Styling is controlled by theme settings — not full manual CSS control.
Complex layouts (columns, grids, advanced positioning) are not supported inside this block.
Truncated text uses fixed height — may cut content mid-paragraph if set too small.
Font scaling affects all content inside the block (cannot style headings and paragraphs separately).
Some formatting from external copy/paste sources may be cleaned automatically by the editor.
