This field is designed to store multiple lines of formatted text. To allow members to enter text, a visual HTML editor has been provided, which can be located on the add and update record forms. It is a fully functional editor that allows for quick and easy formatting. It supports common shortcut keys such as pressing the "control" and "b" keys simultaneously for bold text. Formatting is applied either by using the common short cut keys or the format buttons. For further information, see visual html editor.
When configuring formatted text fields, it is important to consider both the common and field specific properties that are available for use. The field specific properties are defined below.

This set of properties is used specifically for configuring formatted text fields.
Language
The language drop-down menu only appears if multilingual support has been enabled for the site. It is used in conjunction with the default value. Select a language from the drop-down menu and complete the field ( note that this field is not required). The text entered for the field will appear in the database tool when the respective community display language has been selected. Select another language and complete the field if multilingual support is desired.
Note: If
the default value is completed in only one language, the text entered
will be displayed for each language the community supports.
Default Value
Specify a default value if the new record form should begin with a suggested value in this field. Ensure the default value matches the field type and content validation settings.
Input Width
Enter a number that represents the desired width or space provided to enter content for this field on the form (i.e. enter 50 for 50 pixels).
Input Height
Enter a number that represents the number of lines of text that should be visible while adding or editing content in this field. More lines will create additional working area but will also make the form page longer.
