The Angular Rich Text Editor is a feature-rich WYSIWYG HTML editor and WYSIWYG Markdown editor. The Rich Text Editor is widely used to create blogs, forum posts, notes sections, support tickets (incidents), comment sections, messaging applications, and more. The control provides an efficient user interface for a better editing experience with mobile support. It has a variety of tools to edit and format rich content and return a valid HTML markup or Markdown (MD) content. It allows users to insert images, links, tables, and lists with modular architecture.

This toolbar contains frequently used commands related to text, image, tables, and links. It helps access and format the elements (text, image, tables, links) quickly, and also customize them.
The Angular WYSIWYG HTML editor toolbar does not stick to the top of the editor, but floats within the editor area when scrolling the current page.

Insert or change the hyperlinks with customization options such as display text, tooltip, and link to be opened in a new window.

Additionally, there are options to choose whether the content should be pasted as plain text, cleaned styles, or source-formatting styles.

A single developer license for the Syncfusion Essential Studio for Angular suite costs $995.00 USD, including one year of support and updates.

No. Our 70 Angular components, including the Rich Text Editor, are not sold individually, only as a single package. However, we have competitively priced the product so it only costs a little bit more than what some other vendors charge for their Rich Text Editor alone. We have also found that, in our experience, our customers usually start off using one of our products and then expand to several products quickly, so we felt it was best to offer all 70 Angular components for a flat fee of $995/developer. On top of this, we might be able to offer additional discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our sales team today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.
No, it is a commercial product and requires a paid license. However, a free community license is available for companies and individuals whose organizations have less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue and five or fewer developers.
A good place to start would be our comprehensive getting started documentation.
