I have a CMS template entitled Traumatic Stress Library Template. The CMS includes a rich text field entitled Article Body RT in the Traumatic Stress Libraries CMS.
On the template, I have formatted the Article Body RT to be a 400 boldness. Both tags that are inherited by the Rich Text Block 11 tag are also 400. Despite this the boldness remains a 700. I have some experience with Webflow, but this one I can’t solve. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello @Brad_Lindell, yes so you have to format your RTE so that the elements inside that RTE class are nested so that they are specific to that element rather than the global classes. To do that simply add another RTE right underneath your existing RTE, give the new RTE the same class Rich Text Block 11, then select a paragraph and make sure you select the all paragraphs class, that should give you the option to nest classes.
The nested styles will be applied to all the RTE with that class. After you are done styling you can simply delete the RTE not connected to your CMS, since that was just used for styling purposes. I hope this helps!
Thank you. it worked. I put the paragraph under the new RT field. Assigned the appropriate tags and it worked. There was no nesting option. Was I suppose to put the paragraph under the new RT? Why would the nesting option not be available? Thanks for all your help!
When a rich text block is data-bound to the CMS, the individual elements such as paragraphs are not selectable. They’re in the CMS rather than part of the page content.
You can temporarily unbind the CMS on that rich text block, select a paragraph element, do your styling, and rebind it.
Hey @Brad_Lindell, so basically if you didn’t nest the all paragraphs class inside your RTE, you are affecting all the paragraphs in your site, and it still works, but nesting would give you control over styling the all paragraphs class in an specific way when inside that RTW class. I hope this helps. This video does a good job explaining the nested styling I’m talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97v2cSE1rrU
