Rich Text Element and List Item Spacing in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Rich Text element in Sparkforge gives you headings, block quotes, inline and full code blocks, multi-level lists with custom bullet styles, highlight colors, and a List Item Spacing slider — no HTML required.

The Rich Text element is a single text block in the Sparkforge page builder that handles headings, block quotes, inline code, full code blocks, multi-level lists, and highlight colors. The sidebar matches the Paragraph element, so styling feels familiar.

What the Rich Text Element Adds

Heading switching: Toggle text between paragraph and H1-H6 in place.
Block quotes: Type > and Enter to start a quote.
Inline code: Wrap text with single backticks.
Full code blocks: Type triple backticks and Enter.
Advanced lists: Bullets (disc, circle, square), numbered (numeric, lower/upper alpha, lower/upper Roman).
Highlight colors: Pick a swatch from the floating toolbar.

How to Add a Rich Text Element

Open the Funnel or Website Builder for your page.
In the left panel, click Quick Add > Rich Text.
Drag the element into a row or column and click to start editing.

Switch Between Paragraph and Heading

Highlight the text.
Click the Paragraph dropdown in the floating toolbar.
Select your heading level.

Lists and Nesting

Two ways to start a list:

Type * then space.
Highlight text and click Unordered List or Ordered List in the floating toolbar.

Click the dropdown next to the bullet to change the marker style. Press Tab to indent and Shift + Tab to outdent.

List Item Spacing

List Item Spacing controls the vertical gap between list items, separate from text line height. Use it to add breathing room on long or mobile-heavy lists.

Select a Rich Text or Bullet List element.
Open the Style panel and find List Item Spacing next to Line Height.
Drag the slider or enter a value.

Use Line Height for spacing inside a list item, and List Item Spacing for the gap between items. Supported elements: Rich Text and Bullet List.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a Paragraph element into Rich Text?

No. The element type is fixed at creation. Add a new Rich Text element if you need its formatting controls.

How do I make nested lists?

After a list item, press Tab (or use the indent button) to push it down a level. Shift + Tab pulls it back up.

Do global fonts and colors apply to Rich Text?

Yes. Rich Text inherits global theme settings the same way Paragraph elements do.

What does List Item Spacing change?

It controls the vertical gap between separate list items. Line Height controls text spacing inside a single item.
