Hi everyone,
Let’s say I’m working on a channel called ‘News’.
- My News content field will be called ‘body’
- How can I get a styling similar to what the NYT times does without playing around with HTML while creating a new news post?
They appear to assign certain classes so images stand out or elements are formatted differently. How can I achieve something similar?
Cheers

You’ll have to decide how flexible you want to be. To be ultimately flexible there’s no way around having a bunch of HTML in your one body field.
If you can define a vocabulary of layout options, then you can use a combination of other channel fields and template logic to hold the other content elements and mark them up intelligently.
You might have an image field, then another custom field with alignment options - then in the template use conditionals that look at the alignment choice and apply it to the image.
