Yes, it is possible to display a tweet from a link in a Collection using Webflow's "Post Body" set to "Rich Text". Here's how you can achieve it:

  1. Create a Collection: First, create a Collection in Webflow to hold your tweets. Add the necessary fields such as "Tweet URL" or "Tweet Embed Code".

  2. Add a "Rich Text" field: Within your Collection, add a "Rich Text" field called "Tweet Body".

  3. Paste the tweet link in the "Tweet Body" field: For each collection item, paste the tweet link in the "Tweet Body" field.

  4. Style the tweet container: Design a container to hold the tweet within your Collection's template page.

  5. Insert an embed code component: Drag and drop an "Embed Code" component inside the tweet container.

  6. Use dynamic embed code: Double click on the "Embed Code" component and add the following code to display the tweet dynamically:

    ```html

    \`\`\`

    This code retrieves the tweet URL from the "Tweet Body" field of each collection item and embeds it.

  7. Style the tweet: Use CSS to style the tweet container as needed. You can target the tweet elements using classes or IDs within the embedded tweet code.

  8. Publish and test: Once you've added tweets to your Collection items and set up the embed code, publish your site and test it to ensure the tweets display correctly.

By following these steps, you can display tweets from a link in a Collection using Webflow's "Post Body" set to "Rich Text". This approach allows you to dynamically display tweets from your Collection items, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance.
