Notes

In July of 2017, my maternal grandmother passed away in Wayland IA. So I rented a car and made the drive to her funeral, stopping at graves of Abraham Lincoln and Justice Miller on the way there. Keokuk is in the southeast corner of Iowa - or as my cousin put it, "Iowa and Missouri once had a fight over which one would get Keokuk, and Iowa lost." I was meeting up with family in Mount Pleasant, some 45 minutes north of Keokuk, so I had a narrow window in which to locate Miller's grave and meet up with my family. To say Oakland Cemetery is disorganized is selling it way short. I was very lucky that I located his stone as quickly as I did - I could have been there a very long time.

On the way back, I stopped at the grave of David Davis, but something odd was happening with my camera and the pictures aren't really usable. I will have to make another journey out that way.

About

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.
