A maintained article body with headings and lists. Learn when to use Rich Text, follow a practical setup, and diagnose common problems.

2 min read · Updated 30 September 2026

Practice recipe based on public documentation; the Breakdance extension is not installed here.

What it does and when to use it

Edits a continuous formatted content block. Use it for the specific job described below. If a simpler native element can deliver the same outcome, prefer the simpler structure and fewer competing styles.

Before you start

This is a Breakdance catalogue recipe for use with a compatible Breakdance Elements for Oxygen extension. It is not a guarantee of availability in your version. Check the installed element list and official reference before following the steps. Exact control labels can differ; this recipe has not been executed on this site.

Worked example: A maintained article body with headings and lists

Scenario: A maintained article body with headings and lists. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Write the prose as one continuous editable document.
  2. Add meaningful H2 headings, ordered steps and descriptive links.
  3. Check frontend list markers, code snippets and reading width.

Expected result

You should have a maintained article body with headings and lists. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If you need independent cards or columns, use layout elements around separate content blocks. Do not turn the article body into a deeply nested layout.

Checks before publishing

Use real text and assets rather than a perfect placeholder. Check a long label, narrow screen and empty-data state before publishing.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official Rich Text reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

Check extension element visibility in Oxygen. An element may be hidden where a native equivalent exists.
