What is Actiontext?
Actiontext is an open-source rich text editor component designed specifically for use in Ruby on Rails web applications. It seamlessly integrates WYSIWYG text editing capabilities directly within Active Record models.
Some of the key features of Actiontext include:
- Integrated storage of rich text content within application databases
- Conversion of rich text to HTML for easy display
- Customizable editor options including bold, italic, hyperlinks, images, lists, quotes, etc.
