Applying rich text formatting to text values

You can use text values in rich text format to style and enhance text with options, such as bold, italics, underline, fonts, colors, bullet points, and hyperlinks. This formatting helps you style and enhance important details in your data.

For example, you can highlight key specifications, such as display resolution, processing capabilities, storage capacity, and camera quality for a phone.

You can add HTML tags and attributes directly to text values or use the rich text editor to format text values.

The following text in the source code viewer generates formatted text in the editor:

You can copy content from standard content editors, such as Microsoft Word, and paste it in the rich text editor. The text retains the rich text format. In the source code viewer, you can view the HTML tags and attributes that are applied to the text. However, if the content exceeds 4,000 characters, you might have to remove the additional characters from the source code viewer.

Note:

When you save a record, unsupported tags and attributes are removed for security reasons.

You can view text values in rich text format or as plain text based on the page type.

Text values can appear in the following formats:

•Rich text format. Appears on pages where you create, view, or edit records.
•Plain text without HTML tags and attributes. Appears on pages where you view the record details, such as history, source records, workflows, and relationships. Hover over the text values to view them in rich text format.
•Plain text with HTML tags and attributes. Appears on pages where you edit data in bulk. When you use the Equals condition in find and replace operations, include the tags and attributes in the text.

If you add plain text and rich text to a column header, the plain text value appears as unformatted text and the rich text value appears as formatted text.
