Sherpo’s rich text editor is used across product descriptions, lessons, landing pages, FAQs, and documentation. It is block-based and visual, so you can focus on writing instead of formatting or code. Everything you see while editing is exactly how it will appear on your site.

​
Writing basics

Start typing to create a paragraph. Use the toolbar to format text or insert new blocks.

You can change text style using the Aa menu:
  • Title
  • Heading
  • Subheading
  • Body
Use these styles to structure long content and make it easier to scan.

​
Text formatting and color

From the toolbar, you can apply:
  • Bold, italic, underline
  • Inline code
  • Text color and highlight color

Use color sparingly to emphasize key points or warnings.

​
Lists

You can turn any paragraph into a list:
  • Numbered list
  • Bullet list
  • Task list with checkboxes
Task lists are useful for lessons, tutorials, or step-by-step instructions.

​
Text alignment

You can control how text is aligned:
  • Align left
  • Align center
  • Align right
  • Justify

​
Tables

Tables help you organize structured information like pricing, comparisons, or outlines. To add a table:
  1. Click the table icon in the toolbar.
  2. Select Insert table.
  3. Choose the number of rows and columns.
Once inserted, you can:
  • Add or remove rows
  • Add or remove columns
  • Toggle a header row
  • Remove the table entirely
