The Kendo UI for Angular Editor allows developers to get and set the content of the Editor programmatically. Thanks to this, loading and saving content to a database, or even manipulating the content before or after users have edited the Angular Editor’s content, can be implemented with ease.

By default, the Angular Rich Text editor is not resizable, but there are cases where end-users would like to adjust their work area to be bigger or smaller. For that case, all you need to do is set the resizable option to true. You can restrict the dimensions to keep the Editor in a particular space or set no limits at all.

Copying and pasting content from other rich text editors, or desktop word processing applications like Microsoft Word, often comes with extra and overcomplicated HTML. Thankfully, the Angular Editor contains built-in functions around sanitizing content to make the pasted HTML as clean as possible. For maximum control, you can control which tags, attributes, styles, and other elements get removed.

The Angular Text Editor allows you to choose whether the application's styles will affect the content in the editor's text area.
