Chrome extension docs Snippets
Rich text editor
Set content type to Rich Text for a WYSIWYG toolbar: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, code, alignment, bullet and numbered lists, font size and family (10 macOS fonts), text and highlight color, undo and redo, and a link button. The link button opens a small form for the text and the address: select words first and they are the text; with the caret in a link it edits that one, and can remove it. An address without https:// gets it, and a bare email becomes a mailto: link.
Rich text is stored as HTML and pastes as formatted text. Most formatting survives into native editors, web document editors and chat apps.
{{cursor}} is not available in rich text, because HTML renders differently in every target app and cursor positioning would be unreliable.
