The Rich Text Editor (RTE) is highly configurable and based on TinyMCE. Depending on the configuration, it will give your content editors more flexibility when working with content that should be more than plain text.
Customize everything from toolbar options to editor size to where pasted images are saved.
Use CSS to define specific editor styles and add them as formatting options of the Rich Text Editor.
Use Blocks to define specific parts that can be added as part of the markup of the Rich Text Editor.
Extend the functionality of the Rich Text Editor with plugins.
Data Type Definition Example

Content Example

MVC View Example
Without Models Builder
@{
if (Model.HasValue("richText")){
<p>@(Model.Value("richText"))</p>
}
}
With Models Builder
@{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.RichText.ToString()))
{
<p>@Model.RichText</p>
}
}
Add values programmatically
See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services
@inject IContentService ContentService
@{
// Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");
// Get the page using the GUID you've defined
var content = ContentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page
// Create a variable for the desired value
var htmlValue = new HtmlString("Add some text <strong>here</strong>");
// Set the value of the property with alias 'richText'.
content.SetValue("richText", htmlValue);
// Save the change
ContentService.Save(content);
}
Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:
@{
// Get the page using it's id
var content = ContentService.GetById(1234);
}
If Models Builder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string.
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache
@inject IPublishedContentTypeCache PublishedContentTypeCache
@{
// Set the value of the property with alias 'richText'
content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(PublishedContentTypeCache, x => x.RichText).Alias, htmlValue);
}
