How to create RadioRichTextBlock

Tapas

Vote:

"RadioRichTextBlock" which contains a Radio A Text field, Radio B Text field, and an XhtmlString field for the TinyMCE. Showing/Hiding the text is part of the frontend. An editor can then use and place the block wherever needed.

You can refer above steps and create as many block instance you want but you need to write the jquery to show/hide the radio button on front end
