Lesson Content Editor

The Rich Text Editor

Strapi's rich text editor (Blocks editor) lets you create structured lesson content with various formatting options.

Available Formatting

Text Formatting

• Bold — Select text and click the bold button (or Ctrl/Cmd + B)
• Italic — Select text and click italic (or Ctrl/Cmd + I)
• Underline — Select text and apply underline
• Strikethrough — For crossing out text
• Code — Inline code formatting for technical terms

Headings

Use headings to structure your lesson into sections:

• Heading 2 — Major sections within the lesson
• Heading 3 — Subsections
• Heading 4-6 — Deeper nesting (use sparingly)

Heading 1 is reserved for the lesson title. Start your content headings at Heading 2.

Lists

• Bullet lists — For unordered items
• Numbered lists — For sequential steps or ordered items

Other Elements

• Block quotes — For callouts, tips, or important notes
• Code blocks — For code snippets (if your course involves programming)
• Images — Embed images directly in the lesson content
• Links — Link to external resources

Writing Tips

1. Start with an overview — Begin each lesson with a brief summary of what students will learn
2. Use headings liberally — Break content into scannable sections
3. Keep paragraphs short — Aim for 2-4 sentences per paragraph
4. Use lists for steps — Numbered lists work well for procedural instructions
5. Add images — Screenshots and diagrams improve comprehension
