Self-solved. I was building a FAQ component in React (JSX).

The richText input was for `answer`, I was passing it as a child `<div>{answer}</div>` and seeing

and   
 tags after editing…  
now I’m using dangerouslySetInnerHTML:  
`<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: answer }}></div>`

ChatGPT indicated this could work: `<RichText content={answer} />` but I didn’t see where RichText was exported anywhere.

I also just found this answer from a previous Identical thread:
