Text Formatting in String Fields

Vote:
 

My team already has things developed in our website and we cannot easily change some of our fields from strings to XhtmlString objects. Our authors want a way to italicize some text in these string fields, and without adding custom frontend code to check for substrings (that the authors enter in the input fields) like, "some text <em>the italicized text</em> some other text" and formatting it that way, is there an easer way to achieve allowing our authors to have the ability to format code within string fields?

You can add your own editor to string-properties in CMS.

Here's an example of adding a Markdown editor, https://tedgustaf.com/blog/2016/custom-markdown-editor-for-string-properties-in-episerver/
