Secondary Text Header

East Vancouver was an early settlement for immigrants first joining the Vancouver community, which has contributed to it's vibrant energy in present times. Spend the day hoping from brewery to brewery on Commercial Street; Explore the wall art murals stretched along Main Street; or simply enjoy an exquisite bowl of pasta in Little Italy. Whatever your choice, your options abound in East Vancouver.
The Drive was originally a skid road for dragging logs to the harbour. It was named "Park Drive" but renamed "Commercial Drive" in 1911, possibly to avoid confusion with other Park Drives in Vancouver.

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.
