}HTML editor toolbar
The Angular WYSIWYG text editor toolbar offers a wide range of commands for editing and formatting content. It enables users to format text and paragraphs as well as insert images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, and more. The commands are organized into groups based on related functionality.

Multi-row toolbar
Toolbar commands that exceed the available space are automatically wrapped into additional rows within the toolbar.

Expand toolbar
Hidden overflow commands in subsequent rows become visible when the toolbar is expanded using the expand icon.

Quick toolbar
This toolbar includes commonly used commands for text, images, tables, and links. It allows quick access for formatting and customizing these elements.

Floating the toolbar
The Angular HTML editor toolbar does not remain fixed at the top; instead, it floats within the editor area while scrolling the page.

Fully customizable
The Angular Rich Text Editor toolbar buttons are fully customizable. Users can add or remove buttons and organize commands by category to meet application requirements, such as for blog editors or email composers.

Custom tool
Custom commands with specific actions can be added to the toolbar alongside the built-in tools.

Inline mode
The Angular Rich Text Editor displays an inline HTML editor when content within an editable area is selected.
Mention and hashtag
While composing content in the Angular Rich Text Editor, users or groups can be tagged or selected from a suggestion list.

Editing experience
The Angular Rich Text Editor component provides a broad set of tools and options for an enhanced editing experience.

Insert images
Images can be added from local or server paths with captions, and URLs can be linked to them. Images can be uploaded via drag-and-drop or file upload. The editor also supports inserting images in BLOB or Base64 formats.

Insert hyperlinks
Hyperlinks can be added or modified with options such as display text, tooltips, and opening links in a new window.

Insert tables
HTML tables can be created and edited to display structured data within the editor. Users can dynamically manage tables by adding or removing rows and columns, resizing the table or its elements, and deleting tables.

Table cell merge and split
Two or more row or column cells can be merged into a single cell along with their content. A single cell can also be split horizontally or vertically.

Text alignment
Built-in settings are available to align your content to the left, center, or right, or justify it.
Enter and Shift+Enter key configuration
The Angular Rich Text Editor enables configurable tag insertion when using the Enter and Shift+Enter keys.
- P: When set to ‘P’, pressing Enter or Shift+Enter creates a p tag.
- DIV: When set to ‘DIV’, pressing Enter or Shift+Enter creates a div tag.
- BR: When set to ‘BR’, pressing Enter or Shift+Enter creates a br tag.
Formatting text
- Apply formatting to selected content, entire paragraphs, or specific words and characters.
- Style headings, quotations, code blocks, paragraphs, and more.
- Use bold, italics, underline, or strikethrough, or adjust letter casing.
- Modify paragraph indentation and spacing.
- Choose fonts and set font sizes.
- Apply subscript and superscript formatting.
- Customize the font color and background color of the content.


Auto formatting for Markdown syntax
Autoformatting allows users to style content quickly using Markdown-style shortcuts, removing the need for toolbar buttons or dropdowns for common formatting. When users type syntax such as # for headings, ** for bold, or * for italics, the editor automatically converts it into corresponding HTML elements.
Checklists
Checklists (to-do lists) can be created directly within the editor. Users can easily add interactive checkbox items to their content, enabling task tracking and management within documents.


Adding custom lists
Create ordered (numbered) or unordered (bulleted) lists to structure content effectively. The editor supports customizing bullet styles such as circles or squares, as well as different numbering formats like lowercase Greek and uppercase Roman.
Quick insert for table rows and columns
Rows and columns can be added quickly to a table. When the cursor hovers near table edges, a “+” icon appears, allowing users to insert rows or columns with a single click.


Line height
Users can adjust the vertical spacing between lines of text, controlling how compact or spaced the content appears, which improves readability and visual balance.
Full-screen text editor
A built-in option enables the editor to expand into full-screen mode for a more focused and distraction-free content editing experience.


Paste from Microsoft Word and Excel
Provides built-in options to paste content, including images, from Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel while filtering unnecessary tags and styles. Content can be pasted as plain text, cleaned format, or with original formatting.
Auto-hyperlink of URL
Automatically converts plain text URLs into clickable hyperlinks as they are typed.

Angular form validations
The Rich Text Editor supports form integration and can capture values during form submission. It provides the following validation types:
- Required validation
- Maximum length validation
Limit content length
Users can set limits on the number of characters for a specific section, ensuring controlled content input.

Resizable editor
The Angular Rich Text Editor is resizable, enabling users to expand or reduce the content area based on their needs.
Insert an image through the file manager
The built-in file manager allows users to upload and insert images directly from cloud storage or a server.


Format painter
The format painter lets users quickly copy formatting and apply it to other content, avoiding manual reformatting. It can be accessed via the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts. The sticky mode, activated by double-clicking the toolbar button, enables users to apply formatting across multiple areas continuously.
Additional features

Cut, copy, and paste
Supports standard clipboard operations such as cut, copy, and paste.

Undo and redo manager
Maintains a history of editing actions, enabling users to undo or redo changes as needed.

Print text editor content
Print content directly using the toolbar option or programmatically, with formatting preserved.

Responsive Angular Rich Text Editor
Recognizes touch gestures, allowing users to swipe left or right to navigate the toolbar. The responsive design ensures a smooth experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.

Built-in and customizable themes
Includes multiple built-in themes such as Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap 5, Bootstrap 4, Bootstrap, Material, Fabric, Fluent, and high contrast.

Developer-friendly Angular Rich Text Editor APIs
There are sufficient client-side APIs available to enhance the process of content editing.
HTML editor accessibility

Keyboard navigation
The Rich Text Editor ensures that every cell is accessible using the keyboard. Major features like sort, select, and edit can be performed using keyboard commands alone; no mouse interaction is required. This helps in creating highly accessible applications using this component.

Screen reader
The Rich Text Editor view has complete WAI-ARIA accessibility support. Its UI includes high-contrast visual elements that help visually impaired people to have the best viewing experience. Also, valid UI descriptions are easily accessible through assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Right to left (RTL)
The Rich Text Editor supports right-to-left rendering, allowing the text and layout of the text editor to be displayed from right to left. This improves the user experience and accessibility for users of RTL languages such as Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew.
