Quotation formatting in ASP.NET MVC Rich Text Editor Control

4 Mar 20251 minute to read

The Rich Text Editor facilitates quotation formatting through the Blockquote tool available in the toolbar. Blockquotes are designed to visually highlight significant text, emphasizing key information or quotations by setting them apart from the main content for added emphasis and clarity.

To format text as a quotation, select the desired text and click on the Blockquote icon in the toolbar. The selected text will be formatted as a blockquote, typically indented and styled differently from the surrounding content.

Use the Blockquote tool in the editor below to see the feature in action.

@Html.EJS().RichTextEditor("formatting").Value(ViewBag.value).Render()
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.value = @"<blockquote><p>The Rich Text Editor component is a WYSIWYG (\'what you see is what you get\') editor that provides the best user experience to create and update the content. Users can format their content using standard toolbar commands.</p></blockquote><p><b>Key features:</b></p><ul><li><p>Provides &lt;IFRAME&gt; and &lt;DIV&gt; modes</p></li><li><p>Capable of handling markdown editing.</p></li><li><p>Contains a modular library to load the necessary functionality on demand.</p></li><li><p>Provides a fully customizable toolbar.</p></li><li><p>Provides HTML view to edit the source directly for developers.</p></li><li><p>Supports third-party library integration.</p></li><li><p>Allows a preview of modified content before saving it.</p></li><li><p>Handles images, hyperlinks, video, hyperlinks, uploads, etc.</p></li><li><p>Contains undo/redo manager.</p></li><li><p>Creates bulleted and numbered lists.</p></li></ul>";
        return View();
    }
}

In a markdown editor, blockquotes are represented using the > symbol.
