Output Formats

Our HtmlEditor outputs the markup in HTML and Markdown formats. To specify the format, use the valueType property. If you use Markdown, link the turndown and devextreme-showdown libraries before the DevExtreme scripts.

The HtmlEditor stores the markup in the value property. In this demo, the value is displayed under the HtmlEditor. You can click the Html and Markdown buttons to switch between output formats.
