Rich Text should offer the ability to underline text. It allows bold and italics, but not underline?
Helps Prismic's Rich Text come closer to being an actual Rich Text Format. The current Rich Text implementation lacks A LOT of basic concepts you see in every other Rich Text Field on any other CMS...
Hey @tannerjuby1, check out this open feature request:
Thanks
This request is over two years old and the suggested path is to use Labels, which were originally built to add custom element types... And now Prismic has repurposed the concept of labels to require content modelers to implement the basic functionality that Prismic fails to implement on their Rich Text field... Like really?
It's unfortunate and extremely frustrating that the product team seems to ignore any popular feature requests by the community that actually uses this subpar "RichText" field. Using labels for basic formatting is lazy solution, that's not what labels are meant for.
We try to prioritize the most requested features and the ones that impact the most. If you're curious and wanna know more about all our current work, check out our progress page:
How is underline not just enabled by default on the rich text editor? It makes zero sense.
Hey Andrew, thank you for jumping in. I know this thread goes way back, and I totally understand why underline feels like a basic feature that should just be there.
The reason it’s not supported is because Prismic isn’t a word processor. It’s a Page builder designed around structured content (JSON), not styled text. So formatting like underline isn’t built-in, as presentation is meant to be handled separately in your code.
That said, you can still achieve underlined text using labels. Add a custom label like underline in your Rich Text field and apply the styling in CSS.
Hope this clears things up, and again, thanks for bringing your thoughts to the thread.
