Rich Text Editor (beta): Examples

The Rich Text Editor is a UI control that replaces a standard HTML textarea. It allows for the rich formatting of text content, including common structural treatments like lists, formatting treatments like bold and italic text, and drag-and-drop inclusion and sizing of images. The Rich Text Editor's Toolbar is extensible via a plugin architecture so that advanced implementations can achieve a high degree of customization.
