Rich text editor controls
The Rich text editor control provides users with an interface for adding and editing text. By using standard word processing tools, such as fonts and formats, this control helps application users style their text, which improves presentation and usability.
When you create a Rich text editor control, you select which features are available to application users. You can configure the Rich text editor toolbar to include additional elements, such as tables, images, and indentation. At run time, users can drag text and images into the control while preserving formatting. The control also supports custom events, such as displaying a smart tip on hover, or refreshing the section on change.
Because the Rich text editor control relies on HTML for
formatting, it interprets all text between the less than (<) and greater than (>) symbols
as an HTML tag, and excludes it at run time. For example, if you configure the Rich text editor to source text from a property, and that text includes
a string such as <[email protected]>, the editor does not display the
string. To include all characters in the text, add a leading space after the less than symbol,
or use a Text area
control.
Rich text editor controls that you add to a dynamic layout are responsive.
