Using the New Rich Text Format Editor
The Output Document template designer supports a new packaged rich text template editor. The new template editor coexists with the existing template editor. In future release (from Core 26 R2), the new template editor will become the default and the only editor available to format the existing and new templates. Until then, administrator has an option to choose either old or new editor to manage the template. By default, both the editors are available in the Template Designer. You can hide the new editor in the Template Designer by setting the Global Setting GBL045 value to false.
The New template editor has all the properties similar to the existing template editor. You can modify the existing templates with new editor and vice versa without losing any data.
The following are the limitations of the new editor:
• The New editor does not support Source code indentation.
• You cannot add Fields and Functions directly into source code using actions such as Insert Label, Insert Value, and Add Function. Instead, you can add them from the Template Designer UI and modify within source code.

1. Navigate to > > .
