The {rich_text} tag is using ExpressionEngine’s native Rich-text editor (WysiHat).

The {rich_text} tag pair will output the contents of the native rich text element available from EE 2.5+.

{rich_text}
   {value}
{/rich_text}

You can use the following parameters with your {rich_text} tag:

strip_tags=

{rich_text strip_tags="yes"}
   <p>{value}</p>
{/rich_text}

This parameter removes HTML formatting from the value being displayed.

char_limit=

{rich_text char_limit="5" strip_tags="yes"}
   <p>{value}</p>
{/rich_text}

This parameter shortens the value being displayed. In order to use this parameter, you need to remove the HTML formatting using the strip_tags=”yes”.

The following single variables are available within your {rich_text} tag pair:

{value}

Displays the contents of {rich_text} element.

{element_name}

Sometimes, you might want to use several rich text elements. The {element_name} tag will help you to determine which rich_text element is being displayed.

{rich_text}
	{if element_name=="simple"}
		<div class="simple">{value}</div>
	{if:else}
		{value}
	{/if}
{/rich_text}
