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.

"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!
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.
December 2011
Design Science’s Anne Odling-Smee addressed a predominantly biology-orientated audience at the Linnean Society’s 2011 Christmas lecture with her talk, How can design help communicate science?
An impassioned response from the audience with little or no prior knowledge of design reinforced our theory that collaborations between designers and scientists need to be encouraged. Comments and questions ranged from a biology grammar school teacher asking, ‘How can Design Science intervene to help address the problem of the ‘dumbing-down’ of science in education?’, to a reminder that scientists speaking first hand about their subject are often the best communicators of all.
The talk concluded with great enthusiasm for Design Science to help broaden this channel.
