Rich Text Editor (RTE) Demo

Here's my custom Rich Text Editor (RTE)—ready for you to leverage as a lightweight, Markdown-style editor for storing and rendering HTML.

Combined with my server-side class Text2Html, it gives you clean, secure, semantic HTML without ever storing raw HTML in your database.

This is what ChatGPT uses to deliver replies when you ask it a question — so it must make sense!

• Description
• Preview
• Raw HTML

⚙️ Easy to Configure

You can embed the RTE anywhere using this Razor snippet:

<partial name="_RichTextEditorPartial"
         model='new RichTextEditorViewModel {
             Id = "Description",
             Name = "Description",
             Rows = 20,
             MaxLength = 1500,
             Value = "hello world"
         }' />

• Use any field name for Id and Name
• Configure row height and maxlength easily

✅ Features

• No-follow on all external links (security & SEO friendly)
• Live word and character count with max length enforcement
• Client-side validation built-in
• Find & Replace utility with step-through or global replace
• Preview and Raw HTML tabs for confidence before posting
• Supports:
  • Markdown-style bold, italic
  • Headings, links, popups, images, tables
  • Code blocks with syntax highlighting via Prism.js

This is the kind of editor I wish I had years ago—simple, extensible, and safe for real-world content. I built it so you don't have to.

You can see it in action in many parts of my DevStack—including admin panels, blog editors, and onboarding flows. Ready to try it yourself?
