new plugin: Rich Text Editor

With the Rich Text Editor, you can provide a full-featured, rich-text editor for your app. There are many options in the editor, including styles, colors, sizes and more! Users can save their documents to the disk, select a previously saved document, and even share their creations as .html documents via email. This project relies on a modified version of the "iOS-Rich-Text-Editor" open-source project created by Aryan Gh on 5/4/13. See included license.txt file for more information. The iOS-Rich-Text-Editor project was modified by Chris Ruddell (Buzztouch) as follows: 1) Integrated with Buzztouch code to create valid plugin structure and control-panel access 2) Added support for dismiss keyboard button 3) Added support for new file button 4) Added support for saving files 5) Added support for opening files 6) Added support for sharing files

Nice, Chris! After editing, it seems to save the content into a file on the iOS device. What can be done with the file afterwards? For example, can the file be uploaded onto a server, etc. Thanks, keep on trucking! ;-) -- Niraj

It's not obvious, can indented numbers or indented bullet points be used to create a list of items? This seems to be the replacement for the notepad plugin ... yes?

Works great on iPad. No support for bullets or lists yet, sorry.

@Chris: Does the font menu nav bar overlap with the status bar (like in the screenshot)? Jake

Very sweet plugin, Chris! I can see many uses for it! @Niraj - There's certainly room for two editing plugins on the market. The notepad plugin is good if you don't need to send your created files, and you just need something lightweight to take notes with. Chris' new plugin is much better if you do regular editing and you plan to share your files with others. And of course there's the price difference! I think each plugin has something excellent to offer different people! Mark

Does this have an option for a background image?

Mark is right on target. The two plugins serve two different functions and two different markets. Should be able to configure background same as any other plugin
