Text entry

Cheers Matthew, I was afraid it was going to be complicated.

Cheers

I'm also looking to see if there is a way to implement some kind of rich-text/WYSIWYG editor such as TinyMCE inside of Storyline for users to input data into. 

I'm creating an activity for users to practice creating citations in both MLA and APA documentation styles. This requires that they are able to italicize and bold text in their response inputs, but I understand Storyline does not support this functionality at the moment. 

I would consider using TinyMCE imported as a web object into Storyline, but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to provide the users with a summary of their responses to download or print out at the end since I would loose the ability to use input text variables inside of Storyline if I used an external tool such as TinyMCE.

Hopefully Storyline might build this feature in the future.

Hey Matthew. I understand how to pass the text from the built in Articulate Text Entry Field into a variable. From there I could display user responses anywhere in storyline, and eve use some JavaScript to print it out to a PDF.

My issue is trying to figure out a way for users to style their input (Italics, bold) and save that data for use later. This is where TinyMCE or similar rich-text editors would be useful if there was a way to capture the users responses. 

From what I know, the only way to get a rich-text editor inside of Storyline is to import one as a web object, essentially iFraming it in from a website, which wouldn't allow me to capture any of the user input that the is entered/submitted.

Hey Matthew, thanks for the info. I checked out Quill and apparently it stores input as a json object inside of the browser window DOM, including any styling attributes that are used, but I'm still not sure I could actually grab any of that info from Articulate. I'm going to have to look into this more. Thanks.
