Implementing the RichText component

Implementation requires importing RichText from @wordpress/block-editor and replacing static markup with the component. The component appears as an editable text field with formatting capabilities once properly configured.

RichText requires an onChange prop to function correctly, even if initially empty. This callback handles user input and enables the component to respond to text changes and formatting modifications.

Components provide interface functionality but require data handling integration to persist changes. The next step involves connecting component changes to block attributes for proper data storage and retrieval.
