The Rich Text Editor (RTE) widget (Legacy) is a user-friendly tool based on the Froala editor that lets you create, edit, and format text and HTML content. With the RTE widget, you can create visually appealing text without needing advanced technical skills.
You can mention users, public pages, and public communities in the rich text editor; however, no one will receive a notification of being mentioned. The mention will still appear as a hyperlink.
This rich text editor widget will be phased out gradually. It is no longer installed by default in blog and wiki articles; instead, the New Rich text editor widget is used. For up-to-date instructions on using the new RTE, we recommend reading that article. If you prefer, you can still manually add this legacy RTE widget to blog and wiki articles until it is phased out.
Set up the widget
When added, the RTE widget has no configuration settings; it simply adds a text box with various options for formatting text and adding additional elements. The RTE widget is automatically available in wiki and blog articles.
