Cycle 2: Rich-text editor for multi-line input field

Cycle 2: Rich-text editor for multi-line input field

Suggestion: Rich-text editor for multi-line input field

Purpose: Allow users to type rich-text in the mult-line field.

Motivation: Basic rich-text (bold, underline, italics, fonts, font colors, font sizes, hyperlinks) allows users to be more expressive when conveying information in a form. This is an often requested feature and is in the roadmap.

Example: An announcement board to post news relevant to an organization. Colors and links will provide extra detail than just plain text.

Implementation: Have an option to turn-on a rich text editor when using the mult-line input field. If the editor looks and acts like the "notes" field, then I'm happy. The data will be stored as a long string of html text.

Issues: Admin must turn on html tags. There probably should be limitations on the maximum number of characters used in the field, set by the admin: We do not want users to type a novel in there. The full quotes " may have to be converted into single quote ' in the html string.
