What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

QUANTOX IT League is the first sports competition of this type in Serbia!

A motivation to enable people in this industry to play sports and connect - resulted in a project which is unique and new in our country.

So far, 5 seasons of the Quantox IT League and 4 seasons of the Summer League have been played in over 800 matches and with a common goal - good fun, quality games, and an opportunity to meet and connect with colleagues from the industry.

With Luka Bulatović, the director of the IT League, we discussed the idea of ​​gathering IT companies in one place through a sport and the advantages this kind of competition provides and promotes.

The Quantox IT league was formed 6 years ago. What was the initial motive behind the establishment of the corporate basketball league and has the main idea changed to this day?

Six years ago, we gathered at the basketball court where we played basketball once a week. Back then we were teammates on the court, and today, we are the organizers of the Quantox IT League. We moved from the court to the offices and thought about how to connect with other IT professionals and set a new standard that the IT world deserves.

We are aware of the fact that it is very difficult to find free time for physical activity, but when you have a team that motivates you - then basketball training and games become an immense pleasure.

To this day, the same idea remains and we are proud of the entire organizational team as well as all the companies that have trusted us and have been participating for years.

What is the main vision of the Quantox IT League and where do you see it in the coming years?

The idea for this project arose as a desire to present the entire competition in a different light. Our mission is to create an inspiring, creative, and positive environment that encourages unhindered freedom of expression through sports. The club's vision is for people from the IT sector to play sports and meet new colleagues from the profession and also raise their work to an even higher level through the Quantox IT League.

For now, the League gathers only basketball players, but we plan to expand this project to other popular sports. The biggest challenge is to attract more companies that will be part of the league, and we plan to do that with constant improvement of conditions and through introducing novelties.

More than 50 IT companies and about 1500 players have gone through the IT League. What are the key impressions of the competition?

We are proud of the numbers that show us that we worked hard all these years to reach the 6th season and 32 teams. During this competition, some of the teams improved their game thanks to the good organization within the team and a large number of training sessions. 

The reasons for participating in the Quantox IT League differ, from recreation, socializing with colleagues, and strengthening team spirit. Furthermore, one of the main competitive motives is raising the trophy at the end of the competition. And yet, above all these, the most interesting part for the participants is the "third half", when they stay after the game and hang out.

What do the companies that are part of the league see as the biggest benefit?

The Quantox IT League offers companies the opportunity for their people to spend quality time participating in a sport & recreational competition with their team. This way, they improve both their physical and mental health. This is one of the ways for colleagues to get closer to each other, get to know each other better, and spend quality time outside the office together, in a different environment. Further benefits are that, over time, members begin to understand each other better, develop better relationships and have more open communication.

What is the main drive of people who are part of the IT League?

Winning and losing are integral parts of every game. Every team has ups and downs. What drives them are the good results they achieve in matches. Another major motivator is the fans who are there to encourage and cheer for their favorites in the stands!

We believe that the conditions in our league are at the highest level in the country, but we can do even better. The real challenge is to overcome yourself, to do something new. Challenges are what actually drives us!

The IT League has recently gathered 32 basketball teams and organized an humanitarian All-Star event for the treatment of four-year-old Helena Živković from Čačak, who suffers from autism. Hardware and Software teams competed to help little Helena, and collected 126,900 dinars from ticket sales. This is just one of the many ways in which this kind of sports competition contributes to individuals and communities when needed.

The fifth season of the Summer IT League is beginning soon, and registrations start on the 17th of April.

See you there as we continue to strengthen the IT community through team spirit together!
