Yes, it is possible to add a code block or preformatted text within a Rich Text element in Webflow. While the rich text editing options in Webflow's Rich Text element primarily focus on text formatting, headings, and quotes, you can still add custom code blocks or preformatted text using a workaround.
To include JSON code or any other code within a Rich Text element, follow these steps:
1. In your Webflow project, open the page or template where you want to add the code.
2. Add a new Rich Text element to the desired section or container.
3. Inside the Rich Text element, switch to the HTML Tag option. This option allows you to write custom HTML code directly within the Rich Text element.
4. Within the HTML Tag option, write the code block or preformatted text using `
` or `` tags.
For example, to display JSON code, you can use the following structure:
```html // Your JSON code here
```
You can replace `// Your JSON code here` with your actual JSON code.
5. If you want to apply specific CSS styling to your code block, you can also add a class name to the `
` or `` tags and style it using Webflow's Designer or custom CSS.By using the HTML Tag option and adding the `
` and `` tags within the Rich Text element, you can have a code block or preformatted text to display your JSON or any other code. Remember to switch back to the Rich Text editor mode if you need to add regular text or other formatting options within the Rich Text element.While this workaround allows you to include code blocks or preformatted text within a Rich Text element, note that the code will not be editable within the Webflow Designer. You would need to make changes to the code directly in the HTML Tag field.
