Mentions
The HtmlEditor allows a user to mention other users in the text. Users that can be mentioned are suggested in a drop-down list that gets its items from the dataSource.
The suggestion list appears when a user enters a specific marker. To mention a user, enter @ in the text field at the bottom and select the user from the list.
Data for mentions can be from multiple data sources. In this case, you can assign an individual marker to each of them.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
