Maintain Content

Through the use of the CMS called Strapi, you are able to handle most of the content work yourself. But to maintain the integrity and portability of said content, we might establish some ground rules for rich editor fields.

This is needed because the rich text editor provides a lot of functionality for formatting text. Often these formatting options should not or rarely be used. Technically, it would be possible to remove these entirely, but decided against that for the simple reason to have them available if such a rare case surfaces.

You usually find these fields in the Pages content type, where you handle pretty much anything related to the website's content.

Inserting content

We usually recommend to copying and pasting content into these rich text fields via Ctrl + Shift + V. These removes all the extra formatting of the text. This is important because you do not even see some of the formats directly, but it will still negatively impact the design of the website itself. Another way is to copy and paste the text normally, then select all the text and then use the Remove Format functionality of the editor.

Ground rules

I devide these into 3 categories. From formatting that is usually fine, to formatting you should pretty much never use.

Save to use

These formatting options are usually always good to use:

• Bold
• Italic
• Underline
• Strikethrough
• Links
• Lists (Order and unordered)
• Adding media via the media library

Rarely use / situational

• Font Size
• Subscript / Superscript
• Insert HTML
• Tables

Never use

Pretty much anything else, but to give examples

• Font Color
• Headings
• Font Family

If you need content added which is not possible with these restrictions, please feel free to reach out.
