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).

There is a parameter on the component called maxSize which is configurable and lets you increase the allowable size. It defaults to 10,000. You can increase this to support more content.

Hi Team,

We are using the richTextFieldWithTables() component to provide the better user experience in one of the application. But we have few issues while copy and paste the same table from outlook and WordPad. Please find more details below.

1. Whenever the copy and paste the same table from outlook to component ,It is giving the the error as "Maximum content exceeded" .

2. Whenever the copy and paste the same table from WordPad OR Excel file, It is not giving any validation error.

3. Whenever inserted the same table from component as well not receiving the validation error about maximum text length exceeded .

Observed the below html text from above mentioned scenarios.

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 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?
