A new rich text editor for B&R Community

Hello BRCommunity :sun_behind_small_cloud:,

Happy to share that a new rich text editor is now available for writing articles.

:writing_hand: A new rich text editor

The new rich text editor simplifies the writing experience for B&R Community users, particularly those who are less tech-savvy or aren’t familiar or comfortable with writing in Markdown. The rich text editor supports Markdown, as well as other common keyboard shortcuts and toolbar formatting adjustments, but the formatting is rendered immediately for a WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) experience similar to familiar tools like Google Docs and Notion.

Most things you’ve been doing in the classic Markdown composer are now supported in the rich text editor, including:

  • All basic formatting, supported in Markdown (**bold**), using common keyboard shortcuts (Command + B), and via toolbar icons.

  • Support for advanced features like creating tables, creating polls, inserting date/time, adding hide details sections, adding blur spoiler sections, uploading file / image / video, rendering links as oneboxes, styling category / tag / user mentions, quoting content, and inserting footnotes.

  • Dedicated link UI to visit, edit, copy, title, or remove links

  • Dedicated image UI to resize, caption, or deleting images

:gear: Turning on the new composer

The rich editor is enabled by default. When you or your members open the composer, you’ll notice a toggle in the toolbar. This lets you switch between the classic Markdown-only mode and the new rich text editor.
