Ace: Rich TEXT editing in ACE editor is missing

[InfantAnto]

Now i am working in ACE editor . Please advice me on how to add rich editing option( tool bar with bold,italic etc.,) in ace editor by any third party plugin or using the default way in ACE editor.

Are you asking about bold etc in markdown mode? Or want to display bold text in the editor?

Hi nightwing,
I am asking for formatting options toolbar like CKeditor. Do you know how to add this?

[nightwing]

Ace doesn't support displaying rich text.

I need like the above. Is there any way to do this via any third party JS files? Any help would be appreciated.

What should the toolbar do?
How will user assigned formatting interact with the code coloring?
How would ace store the formatting?

[InfantAnto]

I am not using ACE editor for code syntax purposes. Just to get the text using ACE editor. We're using text mode only , not asked for any programming syntax. Need to get complaint from users in our project.
Users can format their comments. We get the content and mail it. No need for storing the content.

I think now you can understand my point of view. Any way to add the formatting options?

[nightwing]

Why do you want to use ace for this instead of other rich text editors? Ace was not written for this usecase.

@nightwing Thanks for your reply to make me clear on rich text editing is not supported by ACE editor. Now i have switched to CKEditor.

There are many other rich text editors too, e.g. https://prosemirror.net/ looks pretty good.
