Is there a way to add a rich text editor to my forms so that my customers can do some basic formatting like Headings , sub headings etc for long documents? E.g. for writing reports ---

Currently this is not available in Adalo right now. ---

I don’t see why DraftJS ([https://draftjs.org/](https://draftjs.org/)) wouldn’t work in Adalo with a custom component. It has a react-native component implementation ([react-native-draftjs-editor - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-draftjs-editor)). ---

Yeah @TKOTC you would need to hire a developer (or you) to develop that component for you. ---

Yes, it would require customization. I have created a proof of concept and published it on GitHub located here: [GitHub - PragmaFlow/adalo-draftjs](https://github.com/PragmaFlow/adalo-draftjs) And a quick YouTube video about how to use it: [Adalo Rich Text Editor - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixU6XDHtWxI) When I get more time I will make it pretty and package it for the marketplace. For now I hope this helps someone. ---

Thanks for the video and for trying this out. Even though it is crude, it did proofed that it works. I am not a coder but did a search and think this might help: > **[Build rich text editors in React using Draft.js and react-draft-wysiwyg -...](https://blog.logrocket.com/build-rich-text-editors-react-draft-js-react-draft-wysiwyg/)** > > In this article, we will be using Draft.js and react-draft-wysiwyg to build a rich text editor and display text we created using the editor. ---

Anybody know of a forum Adalo clone? With rich text functionality, a forum system should be straightforward in Adalo, no? ---

I don’t think Adalo can be used as a forum builder. There are more specialised software to do that. ---
