How do i make a plugin replacing the rich text editor for your organization with a more powerful rich text library, like [slate](https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate) or [froala](https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/) or customize my version of Quill?

Can you please make a description with code snippets for how I can do this?

Peter

Hi @peter.manhof. We are in the process of updating our plugins with a better example, but in the meantime here is a draft PR you can take a look at if you want to get started on your own ASAP: [https://github.com/BuilderIO/builder/pull/171/files](https://github.com/BuilderIO/builder/pull/171/files)

There is a great public builder plugin ‘joti-html-editor’ that solves many Quill rich text editor woes.

> **[builder/plugins/jodit-html-editor at main · BuilderIO/builder](https://github.com/BuilderIO/builder/tree/main/plugins/jodit-html-editor)**
>
> Visual Development for React, Vue, Svelte, Qwik, and more - BuilderIO/builder

You can add it to your settings as a plugin (@builder.io/plugin-jodit-html-editor), set the Type on your content model to Rich text (instead of Html) and it replaces the default Html (Quill) rich text editor.

Or use it locally.
