Frequently Asked Questions
Features & Capabilities
What is the Rich Text Editor in Hygraph and what formats does it support?
The Rich Text Editor in Hygraph allows content creators to create, edit, and link content with support for link, inline, and block embeds. For developers, the Rich Text Field returns content in four formats by default: raw, HTML, markdown, and text. JSON is also available when embeds are enabled. The React Rich Text Renderer is open-source and available on GitHub and NPM. Note: The Rich Text Editor uses its own schema, which may require conversion for some legacy HTML content. Documentation
