Use a rich text element

Use a rich text element to provide users with a rich text editor that can be used to author a section of HTML. To create a rich text element, you can either add a rich text element to an authoring template, site, site area or content item, or create a rich text component.

• Creating a rich text component

  You create a rich text component when you want to reuse a section of HTML in multiple places in your Web site, and you want to use a rich text editor to create and edit the HTML. A copyright notice is an example of the kind of HTML you could store in a rich text component.

• Add a rich text element to an item

  You add a rich text element to a site, site area or content item when you want a section of HTML to be used for a specific site area or content item and you want to use a rich text editor to create and edit the section of HTML.

• Add a rich text element to a template

  You add a rich text element to an authoring template when you want a section of HTML to be used by a set of content items that use the same authoring template and you want your content authors to use a rich text editor to create and edit the HTML.
