Use the rich text element

Use the rich text element to enter and format text.

The rich text editors used by Web Content Manager are supplied by other vendors. For information about using the rich text editor, see the user documentation supplied by the specific rich text editor vendor.

Basic WCM tags can be used in rich text elements. For example, the following tags can be used in Rich Text elements:

• [component name="test"]

• [element type="content" context="current" key="body"]

The following tag formats are invalid:

1. The use of single quotes around attribute values.

   • [Component name='example']

   • [Component name='example' start='<a href="' end=' ">link</a>']

   • [Component name='example' start='<img src="' end=' "/>']

2. The use of double quotes inside attribute values.

   • [Component name="example" start="<a href="" end="">link</a>"]

   • [Component name="example" start="<img src="" end=""/>"]

3. Embedding tags inside other HTML tags.

   • <a href='[Component name="example"]'>link</a>

   • <img src='[Component name="example"]'/>
