RichTextEditor vs Trix

RichTextEditor has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Trix is a free, open-source WYSIWYG editor for composing messages, comments, articles, and lists in web applications. It uses an internal document model that turns editing into operations and renders the result as terse, consistent HTML. Default formatting covers bold, italic, links, strikethrough, headings, quotes, code, and bulleted or numbered lists. Users can drop or paste files; the host application must upload them and supply permanent URLs. GIF, PNG, WebP, JPG, and JPEG attachments receive automatic previews. Trix supports unlimited undo and redo, form integration through a changing hidden input, and toolbar customization through events and data attributes. It sanitizes content with DOMPurify, while its documentation warns that directly inserted untrusted HTML can execute before sanitization. The editor supports accessible names through label, aria-label, and aria-labelledby attributes. It runs in evergreen desktop and mobile browsers and is available through npm, npm CDN, ESM, and UMD.
