Can I modify the heading styles in a rich text field in Webflow?

You can adjust the heading styles in a Webflow Rich Text field, but the process requires using a Rich Text block with custom styling applied via nested elements or a style guide.

1. Use a Rich Text Element in Your Design

• Drag a Rich Text element into your layout.
• Link it to a CMS Rich Text field if needed.
• This element supports semantic tags like H1 to H6, paragraphs, lists, and blockquotes by default.

2. Apply Custom Styles Using the “All” Selector

• Click on a heading inside the Rich Text element (e.g., an H2).
• In the selector dropdown, choose “All H2 Headings inside of Rich Text” (or the appropriate tag).
• Style this tag just like any other Webflow element (font, size, color, margins, etc.).
• This method won't change other H2s on the page—only those inside Rich Text elements.

3. Use a Rich Text Style Guide Page

• Create a “Style Guide” CMS item or section with a Rich Text block.
• Add every tag variation you want to style (e.g., H1, H2, paragraph, link).
• Apply global styles to elements within that Rich Text block, which will apply sitewide within CMS Rich Text content.

4. Manage Nested Elements with Embed

• For more control, you can break complex designs into static content with inline blocks or custom embeds.
• However, you can’t create custom classes on individual Rich Text tags inside the CMS editor—only via the designer as explained above.

5. Avoid Overriding with Global Settings

• Do not directly style H1–H6 globally unless you want those styles everywhere.
• Always use the “[Heading Type] inside of Rich Text” selector to scope changes.

Summary

To style headings inside a Webflow Rich Text field, use the “[Heading Type] inside of Rich Text” selector in the Designer. This allows you to customize typography for H1–H6 elements without affecting global heading styles across your site.
