Can I modify the heading styles in a rich text field in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Add or select a Rich Text Block to begin editing.
  • Apply a class (optional) to style specific Rich Text elements without affecting others.
  • Double-click to edit and insert headings (H1, H2, etc.).
  • Select a heading, use the Selector panel, and choose “Heading inside of [your class]” to style only within that block.
  • Customize styles in the Style panel, adjusting font, color, and spacing as needed.
  • For CMS Rich Text fields, apply styles within a Rich Text-specific class to target only CMS content.

Yes, you can modify the heading styles in a Rich Text field in Webflow, but the process differs from regular text elements. Follow these steps to style headings inside a Rich Text Block effectively.

1. Add or Select the Rich Text Element

  • Drag a Rich Text Block from the Add panel onto the canvas.
  • If you already have one, select it to begin editing styles.

2. Apply a Class to the Rich Text Element (Optional)

  • Add a class to your Rich Text element if you want custom styles without affecting all Rich Text elements across the project.
  • This allows you to create unique styles for specific sections.

3. Enter the Rich Text Editor

  • Double-click the Rich Text element to edit content.
  • Add different heading levels (H1, H2, H3, etc.) inside the Rich Text field.

4. Style Headings Using the Selector Panel

  • Select a heading inside the Rich Text block (e.g., an H2).
  • In the Selector dropdown, Webflow will show "All H2 Headings" by default.
  • Click the dropdown and choose “H2 inside of [your class]” to style only headings inside that Rich Text block.
  • Adjust font size, color, line height, margins, etc. as needed in the Style panel.

5. Use Custom Rich Text Classes for CMS Content

  • If you're using a CMS Rich Text field, apply a Rich Text class on the Collection Page or inside a Collection List.
  • Always style headings inside the Rich Text context (e.g., "H3 inside of .your-rich-text-class") to avoid global changes.

Summary

You can modify heading styles in a Webflow Rich Text Block by selecting the heading inside the block and applying styles through the Selector panel. If using CMS content, ensure you apply styles inside a Rich Text-specific class to maintain control.
