This example illustrates an editable rich text-enabled long edit box at runtime.

The rich text editor enables you to add rich formatting of text content, including common structural treatments such as lists; formatting treatments such as bold, underline, and italic text; drag-and-drop inclusion; paste-as-text; and sizing of images. The rich text editor toolbar is extensible through the use of HTML definitions that define your configuration, which enables you to design and implement an interface that is specific to the needs of your users.

Important:

Use caution when modifying the rich text editor interface; it is recommended that you never include or enable the Source button in the toolbar.
