PageBuilder - All Text Areas

[lesliekirk]

The PageBuilder Text Area needs to have a Rich Text Editor built in. Store owner is frustrated because they cannot insert a simple break <br> tag into the "Body Text" of the Image and Text Component.

Yes. What is your thought on markdown? That idea is bouncing around a little. Having a rich text editor on a small field isn't ideal. Showing WYSIWYG output in that small field - AND in the preview feels janky to me. Storing HTML isn't ideal. Markdown is spreading as a mark up language but I do you have a sense to which it is a match for store owners?

I should have tossed in that I foresee the need for special characters for things like names with accents (as an example).

Whatever is used needs to be store owner friendly with some sort of tool at their fingertips to understand how to use it or live in admin examples. I sense they don't want to have to have some reference guide open just to be able to use it. I've already had to make 3 "hard coded" tweaks that this particular store owner feels they should have been able to make.

Thanks for the insights.
