# Getting Started with Kendo UI for Vue Editor

The Kendo UI for Vue Editor enables users to create rich textual content through a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) interface and delivers a set of tools for creating, editing, and formatting of text, paragraphs, lists, and other HTML elements.

The Editor component is part of the Kendo UI for Vue library of Vue UI components. It is distributed through NPM under the [kendo-vue-editor package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@progress/kendo-vue-editor).
