Working with Contentful Rich text with Jekll - jekyll

Question

I'm trying to render a rich text field coming from Contentful into Jekyll.... but I can't get it to work. Has anyone had success with this? I already installed https://github.com/contentful/rich-text-renderer.rb as a gem & plugin, but there aren't any directions to make it work with Jekyll.
I am able to get the first paragraph with {{ page.body.content[0].content[0].value }} but clearly that's not the way. and {{ page.body.content | rich_text }} throws an error.
Anyone know how to get this to work?
here's the YML file if it helps

value: The cost of running. ABSOLUTELY FREE! Time to set up... once I knew
what to do, we won't discuss research time... but we can say I deserve another
3-day weekend. Aside... learned that I can understand developers speaking
in Portuguese... cause, yes, that's what it took! Anyway... time to set
up... under an hour. You're welcome! Of course, you are asking why this
is one large block paragraph? I still have to figure out displaying rich
text.

Answer 1

So it turns out that Contentful has a longText/Markdown option. So no need for rich text.
