It allows users to insert images, links, tables, and lists with its modular architecture.

The Vue Rich Text Editor component can be used as a WYSIWYG HTML editor or a Markdown editor, and it also supports Iframe editing with configurable Iframe characteristics. You can easily format the text and paragraphs by setting the editor’s foreground and background colors, font type, italicization, underlining, strikethrough, and bolding.

The WYSIWYG Editor for Vue offers a variety of toolbar options that are fully customizable. The options allow multirow, expanding, quick, and floating toolbars. The tool commands are grouped based on a related functionality. The Rich Text Editor has a highly responsive layout and an optimized design for desktops, touch screens, and smartphones.
