When to use

Use a Rich Text prop when you want designers to:

• Create formatted content with bold, italic, links
• Add structured content like headings and lists
• Include HTML markup in their content

Best practices

• Provide meaningful default values so the component renders when added to the canvas
• Handle missing content gracefully
• Consider content styling and layout
• Test with various HTML structures
