The Bootstrap Rich Text Editor allows you to introduce Microsoft® Word®-like text editing features into your next web application with ease.
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:
- Supported File Formats
- Automation Features
- Content Formatting Features
- Content Editing Features
- Content Layout
- Document and Operation Restrictions
Supported File Formats
Various popular formats are supported to load, convert, and save documents - DOC, DOCX, RTF, HTML, MHT, XML, ODT, EPUB, TXT. Documents can be exported to PDF.
