Enable structured text editing to support links, lists, tables, and styled text while maintaining controlled and predictable output.
RTF editor support in a data editor component means the component can display, edit, and persist Rich Text Format (RTF) content, allowing users to work with formatted text that includes fonts, styles, alignment, and embedded elements rather than plain text. For software developers, this enables applications to store and manage rich textual data such as notes, descriptions, or documents directly within structured data processes, while relying on a standardized, well-supported format. The result is improved user input quality, consistent formatting across systems, and reduced need for custom text handling logic, while still maintaining compatibility with databases and backend services that expect structured data.
Several JavaScript data editor collections provide RTF editing capabilities including:
- DevExtreme jQuery Data Editors (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) lets you manage Rich Text Format input within data editors.
- KendoReact Data Editors (part of KendoReact by Telerik) allows you to edit Rich Text Format data using configurable tools that support storage and predictable output.
- Syncfusion JavaScript Data Editors (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) facilitates Rich Text Format editing in data editors, providing controlled formatting.
- Infragistics Ultimate UI for jQuery Data Editors (part of Infragistics Professional) lets you capture Rich Text Format content in data editors while maintaining structure.
