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.

Richard de Neufville

Professor of Engineering Systems in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Dr. Richard de Neufville is Professor of Engineering Systems in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is known for his textbooks on Systems Planning, Design, and Management which show how to combine technical expertise, economics, and management to obtain overall most productive results. He was the Founding Chairman of the MIT Technology and Policy Program, that prepares graduate students for leadership in the implementation of major technological projects.

‍

With the support of the MIT-Portugal Program, he has collaborated with Portuguese faculty, researchers, and industry over the past 20 years.  Most significantly for the Wildland Fire Conference, he worked with Dr. Tiago Oliviera and the Navigator wood and pulp company to describe the system dynamics between prevention and suppression of wildfires. The study documented how a focus on “fire-fighting” can, by neglecting suppression, create a vicious cycle that increases the intensity of wildfires.

Dr. de Neufville served as a member of the President of Portugal’s Comissão Técnica Independente to review the causes and issues of the disastrous Pedrógão forest fires.  For the following three years he chaired the Forest Fire Prevention and Mitigation committee allocating research grants for the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia.  He currently has a project with Prof. João Claro and Inesctec.
