Can someone give me advice on whether there's something additional I have to do before adding content to the TXT starter kit site?
At the moment when I enter content into a rich text editor on one of the templated "text pages" that come with the starter kit none of the formatting I enter appears, this is the case for the pre-populated content that came with the template too.
e.g. if I enter some content into the editor that has a source code <strong>we charge no fee for helping you make the most of this grant</strong> it just looks like "normal" text on the page when published. When I view source on the page the formatting HTML is still there.
Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any help!
Okay so you have a strong tag in your markup, and want to apply some styling to it on your frontend. Then you should add a CSS rule for the strong tag it could look like this:
aha, that worked, thank you Dennis. I infer from this I should also add a markup tag for <ul>, <ol>, etc. etc. before I'll be able to do the "usual" things in the rich text editor?

Using rich text editor in Starter website (TXT)
Hi all,
Can someone give me advice on whether there's something additional I have to do before adding content to the TXT starter kit site?
At the moment when I enter content into a rich text editor on one of the templated "text pages" that come with the starter kit none of the formatting I enter appears, this is the case for the pre-populated content that came with the template too.

Hi BobithaBrill and welcome to our :)
Perhaps you need to check the stylesheet and see if the element has been styled to not display bold text for instance?

Hi Jan, thanks for the welcome and for helping out! XD
As far as my newbie eyes can tell the stylesheet only defines quite basic characteristics, e.g. for body where the rich text I'm editing is...
body
{
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
background: #f2f5f3;
color: #6b7770;
font-size: 11.5pt;
line-height: 2em;
}
am I looking in the right place?
If it helps it's not just bolding that doesn't show, colours, lists, etc. don't show either
Hi BobithaBril,

Hope this helps,

Hi BobithaBril,
Yup you need to add CSS rules for all the different HTML tags that the rich text editor genres, and that you want to apply style on.

Doh. Lesson learnt. Thank you both!
