Resolve rich text content
Your content creators can put all sorts of content in rich text elements. This is where most of your longer-form content lives, and it must be displayed correctly. Learn how to resolve Kontent.ai-specific entities, such as content items and components in rich text, so that your content always looks as intended.
What can go in rich text?
When working in the Kontent.ai rich text editor, your content creators need the freedom to add various types of content. This spans native options such as formatted text structured with headings, lists, and tables to custom content specific to your project. For example, content such as disclaimers, tweets, or videos is something you define yourself. To add these kinds of custom content, content creators can insert either new components or existing content items within the rich text element. Then, based on the content types of the components or content items, your app can decide how to display them. The same goes for linking to other content items within the rich text element. Your app needs to decide how to resolve each link. For example, you might want to use specific routing logic for different types of content items.
