I just discovered a neat little trick to help identify rich text components in the builder.

There appears to have been a change made recently wrt to component labels that makes them easier to identify by eyeballing. It seems that most components will now use either the data source, title or description as the label. In the case of Rich Text components, whatever the content starts with is used as the label (or as much of it as fits in the component label box).

Armed with this knowledge, you can now create your own custom labels for these components, by using HTML comments.

So for example, a rich text component constructed like this:

Will appear like this:

Maybe I’m not the first to notice this (?), but it’s certainly making my life easier 🙂

Ya, I was doing this too…only issue is that it creates a spacer.
