RTE refers to a Rich Text Editor, which is an interface for editing rich text within web browsers, which presents the user with a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" (WYSIWYG) editing area. The aim is to reduce the effort for users trying to express their formatting directly as valid HTML markup.
The most popular editors used for creating the rich text component of web pages have the following specifics:
- The editing view matches the final appearance of published content with respect to fonts, headings, layout, lists, tables, images and structure
- The buttons, controls and key strokes deliver the same behaviour as the word processor or text editor that the user is most familiar with.
- The HTML code that is generated is compliant with web standards (such as W3C) and the browser on which the content will be viewed.
