• Displays a field that allows for users to type text and format it with a variety of style options.
• Output is saved as HTML. To get the raw character output, designers can use the Appian function fn!stripHtml() on the output.
• HTML output can be passed into Send E-Mail node or document generation smart services. Note that not all formats supported by the Rich Text Editor component may be supported by e-mail or document generation.
• Allows uploading of images which get stored in the specified Appian folder (requires separate install of the Rich Text Editor Connected System Plugin from https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/rich-text-editor-image-upload-connected-system).
