The Rich Text control displays HTML-formatted text and images. Use the What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) editor to display a variety of text styles for the Request participant. Reference an image to display in the Rich Text control using HTML syntax. See a design example.
Aside from rich text styles and images, the Rich Text control can display the following information regarding in-progress Requests:
Request data: Display the value of another control in the same or different Screen by referencing that control's Variable Value setting value using mustache syntax: encapsulate the Variable Name setting value between {{ and }} that represent mustache syntax. In doing so, you are referencing Request data. Spaces surrounding the Request data reference are allowed. During the Request, the Rich Text control references the Request data to locate that control's value to display it in the Rich Text control.
Include your own HTML syntax in the Rich Text control along with Request data references. Example: Full Name: <p>{{ FullName }}</p>
Magic Variable values: Display the value of a Magic Variable by referencing the Magic Variable using mustache syntax. Example: {{ _user.fullname }}. Spaces surrounding the Magic Variable reference are allowed.
This control is available for all type of Screens. See Screen Types.
