I can see that a lot of customization is done by the rich text component and HTML/CSS a lot of the times these changes start with a \< Pre \> tag, and the tag remains open I haven’t seen a pre-tag used this way before, can anybody tell me what’s its purpose in glide? and way is it never closed? ---

Often the `
` helps with clearing formatting regarding quotes

It is good practice to close always HTML tags. However browsers and compilers have gotten smarter over the past decade and don’t always complain about the unclosed tags anymore. They will interpret it the best they can.

Do you mean between the opening and closing of single quotes/double quotes? or there tendency to be substituted to their UTF equivalent under some circumstances?

Thanks 😉,

I see a lot of CSS in the community, but if I turned to the documentation there’s nothing there  
not even a mention of the word CSS 🤔

Ya. It’s not supported by Glide, so they won’t actively promote it.
