Hello 🙂

I am new to Node-Red and try to add a **Rich Text - Textfield** to the edit dialog (properties). Is this possible? Would be happy about any help 🙂

Thanks a lot

Node-RED comes with the ACE editor included which can be used by nodes for a richer editor than a normal HTML textarea.

There are a number of examples in the core nodes for how to use it, such as the Template node - [https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/packages/node\_modules/@node-red/nodes/core/function/80-template.html#L94](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/packages/node_modules/@node-red/nodes/core/function/80-template.html#L94)
