Allow HTML in a Rich Text field

As the title states, allowing HTML in a Rich Text field would be very cool.

My use case that made me think of this is putting iframe videos into a Rich Text field to display in an accordion component.

This should work, we allow most HTML tags in Rich Text.

Have you tested it and it wasn’t working?

Correct, put this in a Rich Text. Trying to use the embed code from Loom to display tutorial videos.

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 66.66666666666666%; height: 0;"><iframe src="Hiding_my_url" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></div>

Are you saving the value in the source code part? When saving it inside the editor it will add formatting which breaks the HTML.

I’m a bit confused now, are we talking about the same thing? I don’t see an option for source code for a rich text field.

Sorry, this is not available in inline edit mode. Hit the Spacebar or pencil edit icon to edit the record and then you’ll see that option.

Got it! Thank you Moe
