# Rich Text Editor

Rich Text Editor is the interface for editing rich text, which presents the user with a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" editing area.

Rich Text Editor is commonly paired with a [Rich Text](/app-builder/app-construction/elements/web-elements/rich-text.md) whose input is HTML. Rich Text will be able to display the text that’s entered into the Editor.
