Rich Text Editor Component

Overview

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).

  • Hello,

    I am seeing an issue where fn!richTextField() does not correctly render text if it starts and ends with paragraph tags: <p> and </p>.

    Here is an example of with the <p> tags.  See the raw input on the top, and the input rendered by the fn!richTextField()  field on the bottom: 

    Here is an example without the <p> tags: 

    Does the fn!richTextField() not recognize paragraph tags?  Could this be added in the next version?

  • The same html renders correctly on any online html editor:
