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.

Whether you are a Linux user or a MacOS, or even Windows, a programmer or even SysAdmin / DevOps, Terminal is an inevitable and very powerful thing in the OS. This will be a brief description of the Terminal and its basic commands.

What Is Terminal and What's it For?

Basically, the bash shell is used by default. A shell is a program that uses commands assigned to it by the user (commands are defined, while new ones can be created) and forwards them to the OS that will show some output when executing the command. In addition to the bash shell (Bourne-Again shell), there is also sh and csh.

There are many standard Linux commands that are already installed along with the OS, which allow you to navigate through the system, install software packages, configure the system and applications, search the whole system or project, work with the git and more.

An instant when running a command is called the process.

It is very important to know that almost everything in Linux is case-sensitive, including file names and directories, commands, arguments, and other options.

Popular Terminal Emulators You Can Install

  • Mac OS X: Terminal (default), iTerm 2
  • Windows: PuTTY, cmd
  • Linux: Terminal, KDE Console, XTerm

An excellent addition to the terminal is zsh (oh my zsh), this is an open-source framework. It comes with a large number of functions, plugins, themes, so you can beautify your Terminal and save time when writing commands.

The information displayed in the command prompt can be modified by the user; this looks like the command prompt on Ubuntu: name @ example: ~ $
name: current username
example: hostname server
"~": the current directory in which we are located. In bash, which is by default shell, tilde or "~", it is a special character that actually represents the path of the "home" directory, in this case, it represents "/ home/name"
"$": prompt symbol, this marks the end of the command prompt, followed by the input of the user's keyboard
