The Bootstrap Rich Text Editor allows you to introduce Microsoft® Word®-like text editing features into your next web application with ease.

BootstrapRichEditor_Overview

Note

The Bootstrap Rich Text Editor provides users with the same features as the ASP.NET Rich Text Editor. The main difference between these controls is that the Bootstrap control also implements the client-side responsiveness and renders code clarity of the Bootstrap framework. The list below links the topics describing features that are common for these two controls.

The Bootstrap Rich Text Editor provides users with the following feature types:
