I have a plain text field on a form. Selected the HTML editor widget. Is there an option to have a toolbar (sort of like what is used in this forum) to allow the end user to easily edit the html? Ideally they could change the font size, color, etc. of selected text.
Now that I read the User Guide, the editor SHOULD have the buttons for formatting the text, but I don't see them.
Thanks

Re: HTML Editor widget on Form. End user formatting
there's some improvements coming in the next release, but it would be EXTREMELEY nice if we could use TinyMCE in Aware.
https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce
I'm not advocating Vlad pay $ to integrate it (ie. buy their license for distro) but providing a .props setting and instructions for us replacing the std. editor with TinyMCE would be great. Let us worry about licensing it (or not).

but my question is why don't I see the buttons for formatting text that are displayed in the documentation. When I add the HTML widget to a form that has HTML plain text, I see the following:

Like Jaymer said, they have always worked for us as well.
Are you by any chance opening the form in a popup?

It was as a popup but I changed the output to default and I still don't have the tools.

You can test this BSV and see what results you get:

Step 1: Login in with default admin account and click the button.
Step 2. Update rule should pre-fill the Biography attribute.

Re: HTML Editor widget on Form. End user formatting
Very strange.
Here are two things you can try:
1. Click F12 to open dev tools in your browser, then use the element inspector to target the tiny grey bar where the HTML editor buttons should have been. Can you actually see it containing any elements? Should look something like this:
2. Click F12 to open dev tools in your browser, there is a Network tab, if you have it open while clicking the "CLICK ME" button, you should be able to see all the network resources that are loading. The status column should read "200" on all files.
