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