# Rich Text

Rich text displays text that’s formatted with standard formatting options, such as bold and italics, that are unavailable with plain text. The input value of Rich Text is HTML.

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

## Properties
