Rich Text Editor Component

Overview

Starting in 24.2, the Styled Text Editor Component is available directly in the product. Consider using this in place of the plug-in moving forward. For more information, review: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/latest/Styled_Text_Editor_Component.html

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).

Hi,

You can try to add style in html directly like this.

substitute(
substitute(
"<table><tr><td></td>...</tr>...</table>",
"<table>",
"<table style='border:solid 1px #cccccc;border-collapse: collapse;border-spacing: 0;'>"
),
"<td>",
"<td style='border:solid 1px #cccccc;'>"
)

Hi team,

After upgrade to 1.10.1, in richTextFieldWithTables, the default foot size is changed to 16, is there a plan to fix this to 14 like old version?

Hi Appian AppMarket .

Can we explicitly provide Fonts and Font Sizes options instead of selecting the options inside the format tab? like current options like (Bold, Italic, Align, etc..). if are there any plans for supporting/addressing this in the future?

Hi, per the documentation here we only have functions right now that support either tables or images, we don't have a function that supports both images and tables (all functions support URLs/Links). If you need both tables and images, please let us know and we can add that to our backlog.
