Rich text editor

#Rich Text# #Editor/Insert images# #Editor/Insert tables#

Sometimes, the Rich Text editor may be a better choice for writing. For example, when we edit a table directly without using the plaintext table syntax, or to have a two-column text block.

Any document files with the *.rtxt file extension will be opened in the Rich Text editor.

Similar to Markdown files, Rich Text documents can be generated into web pages as well. Click the "Run" button on the top right corner, you will have the web page opened in your web browser.
