Rich text

This guide describes how to set up the Rich text section.

Use the section to display formatted text with headings on a page.

The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Rich text section menu is displayed. The menu's Label field contains the "Shop now" text. This option specifies text to display as a label for the section's button. The button is displayed in the section when the Button link box is populated. For example, in the previous image, the Shop now text label is displayed with the section's button.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
