The JSON Rich Text Editor provides many benefits for content producers, including the ability to keep content separated from presentational elements (like HTML or Markdown markup). However, the complex nested nature of the JSON output may not be supported by some external systems for the purpose of creating automations or integrations.
So, we’ve created a new Automation Hub connector to help with this, the RTE Formatter, which is now available in the Automation Hub connector library.
The RTE Formatter currently has two action types, “Format JSON RTE Content to HTML” and “Format JSON RTE Content to Text.”
The first action, “Format JSON RTE Content to HTML,” will take the JSON data and output it as HTML, using the same library as our JSON RTE serializer for front-end display.
The resulting HTML will be more beneficial for some external services which don’t readily understand JSON.
The second action, “Format JSON RTE Content to Text,” performs a similar functionality in that it converts JSON into an HTML format, but in this case, it removes the HTML tags leaving just plain text separated by new lines.
