Use Slash Command for Shortcuts in JSON RTE

Enhance your content editing workflow in the JSON Rich Text Editor (JSON RTE) using intuitive slash commands. Typing a forward slash ("/") within the editor brings up a list of formatting shortcuts, allowing you to style content faster and more efficiently.

To trigger the shortcut menu, click inside the JSON RTE and type a forward-slash ("/"). A drop-down list of formatting options will appear. You can scroll through the list or continue typing to filter and select the desired option.

Note: The menu disappears if you type an invalid command or make a spelling error.

Note: The formatting shortcuts menu does not show up when you type the forward-slash inside a blockquote or code snippet. This is because the forward-slash can have a different purpose inside a code snippet or blockquote.

Formatting Shortcuts

Use the following commands to apply formatting styles:

  • /paragraph: Adds plain paragraph text.
  • /h1 to /h6: Inserts heading tags to emphasize titles or subtitles.
  • /blockquote: Creates a styled quote block, separated from surrounding text.

    Note: To add a line break within the blockquote, use Shift+Enter. To exit, press Enter.

  • /code: Inserts a code block with language-specific syntax highlighting.

List Shortcuts

Easily structure your content with lists:

  • /ordered list: Adds a numbered list—ideal for instructions or steps.
  • /unordered list: Adds a bulleted list—great for itemized points.

Additional Options

Insert visual elements and dividers to enhance readability:

  • /divider: Adds a horizontal line to separate sections or topics.

Content Alignment Options

Adjust the alignment of your content for better layout control:

  • /left: Aligns content to the left.
  • /center: Centers the content.
  • /right: Aligns content to the right.
  • /justify: Justifies text to align with both margins, adding spacing between words.

Note: If you need to include a forward-slash (/) as part of your text (not as a command), simply type it and continue writing as needed.
