I'm trying to create a new report (rdlc) and I'd like to use html (b tag). Unfortunately, the tag is ignored and the tag is rendered as is. According to my searches, there should be an option for setting the contents of a textbox as html, but i can't see that option in the designer.
Does anybody know if this feature is still supported. If so what am I missing?
Right click on «Expr» not at text box,
Choose Place Holder Properties
In Markup Type Section Select HTML - Interpreter HTML tags as style
OK.
If Place holder properties option not coming after Right Click then try to select «Expr» and Right click on «Expr».

Our content author is more comfortable using Experience editor than the content editor and also has knowledge of HTML.
The requirement is - the author should also be able to add text - along with other components (carousel, banner, etc), or just create a whole HTML page using Rich text editor if they need to.
For eg: He will open Experience editor of a page, add a banner component and then below the banned wants to add text. (or maybe just design the whole page using HTML)
I'm handling this kind of task for the first time and here is what I did.
Create the following:
1. A template with the name "Rich Text Section", which has one field "Content" of type "Rich Text".
2. A View Rendering, "Rich Text Component", that points to a .cshtml which is a simple HTML
<div class="row">
#Html.Sitecore().Field("Content", Model)
</div>
A folder "Rich Text Sections" under Sitecore > Content > Home > Components. In this folder, the author can add only "Rich Text Section" templates.
To add text to/or design a page, the author needs to do the following.
Browse in content editor mode. Add a new item (say "LoremIpsum"), of template type "Rich Text", inside the "Rich Text Sections" folder.
Browse in Experience editor mode. Add the "Rich Text Component", set its data source to "LoremIpsum", and then write all the HTML content inside.
Here, the author has to switch to both editor modes. Please advise the better way to do this.
If you have the Insert Options set up correctly on the items in your solution, then from the Experience Editor you can use Insert Page from the Home tab on Ribbon. This will then pop up a modal showing all the Templates that have been configured as Insert Options, the same ones as if you were to right click on a node in the Content Editor and select the Insert option.
The page will be created as a child of the page you are currently on. You can navigate to different sections of the content tree by enabling the Navigation Bar option from the View Ribbon, selecting the page and selecting "Go".
EDIT: I mis-read your question. It seems you are trying to create the Datasource of the item when a component is added using the Experience Editor.
You need to set the Datasource Location and Datasource Template fields on the definition item of your Rendering:
Make sure you leave the Data source field empty on the Rendering item. Now when you add the component you will be prompted to Select the Associated Content. Your editors will be able to select existing content or create new ones.
You can read more in this blog post.
This should be possible. But it isn't. Rename is greyed out.
Here is what I did.
I added columns.
I added a content type and added the columns to the content type.
Next I assigned the content type to a list.
If I go to Content Types -> my content type -> edit columns -> I can see all my columns but I cannot change them to required/optional or even change their display name.
If I click on "Administration Web Page" I'm being redirected to the ManageContentType.aspx page where I can indeed change a field from optional to required (for example). I cannot rename the display name though... but there's simply no such option in the web interface. But I'm pretty sure I have done that multiple times with declaratively deployed content types :)
Any ideas? SP Designer 2013 SP1.
Can't tell about SPD, but in webeditor (sp2013) you can go to ribbon->list->list settings and there rename any column.
Edit: ok, i've found how to do it in SPD: go to your list, on ribbon click Edit columns; then right click on any column and select Rename
Could someone suggest how to hide/disable HTML tab from your Rich Text Editor on sitecore?
I had a look at this, but requires a change on Sitecore core rich text XML.
Problem with this solution is we need to modify the XML for each instance and what about upgrades?
Thanks.
In the Core database (you can switch using the icon in the bottom right next to the clock) you can go to /sitecore/system/Settings/Html Editor Profiles/*profile you want*/buttons/HTML view and deny read-access on that for your users. Alternatively, at least in Sitecore 6.5, there's a profile without the HTML view. It's called Rich Text IDE. You can set the datasource field of a Rich Text field to that one, and not have the HTML view.
That's only removing the HTML option on the bottom left though, I'm not sure how to remove the Edit HTML option you have before you've opened the RTE itself (where you have Show Editor/ Suggest Fix / Edit Html). Looking at This question it might be you'll have to change the XML anyway.
The way we've got upgrades and different instances handled is by having the changed file in source control, and making sure we include it when building a deployment package.
Adding onto Trayek's great answer - you can remove access to the "Edit HTML" as outlined by Alex Shyba below:
Go to the core database, locate the field definition item:
/sitecore/system/Field types/Simple Types/Rich Text/Menu/Edit Html
On the Security Tab, click “Assign” and select the role you don’t want this option to be available to. Deny inheritance of this item or specify other security settings that make sense for your needs.
I added "Everyone" and then selected the "X" by Inheritance for Items, and the "Edit HTML" option was removed.

I am currently creating a mobile site using Sitecore, where I cannot use HTML as markup instead need to use BML as markup language for mobile. Please let me know the following in this regard:
We have a field called Description and its of type RICH TEXT. Here we cannot use the normal Rich Text Editor given by the Sitecore as it generates HTML. So can anyone tell me if I can create a customized RICH TEXT Editor with a button Say "Mobile Bold" and which should generate tags for mobile instead of normal HTML <b></b> tags .
As you all know we can change the RICH TEXT Editor from Default to FULL by setting the source attribute of the field to /sitecore/system/Settings/Html Editor Profiles/Rich Text Full. So in the similar way can I create one more item in the Core DB as /sitecore/system/Settings/Html Editor Profiles/MobileRichTextFull and include customized buttons to it so as to generate BML tags as described above. If this is possible let me know what are all the settings need to be done and steps to be followed for the same.
do you want the users to edit BML directly, or are you able to transform HTML to BML?
For the latter, you'd better solve this in the presentation layer/pipeline.
HTML Agility Pack will be your friend when going for this last solution.
Otherwise, look at Teleriks resources about the editor.
I would like to add a button to the Sitecore rich text editor toolbar, specifically one that inserts the H2 element.
I know the H2 element can be inserted using the paragraph styles pulldown menu, but all my editors are now using the bold button for their headings because they don't "see" the paragraph styles pulldown. So, I want to make the H2 easily available using a toolbar button. (And maybe even removing the bold buttons, since it's not semantic at all.)
But no matter how I go through the documentation, I cannot find a good explanation on how to do this.
In addition to the guide Yan posted, here's another guide.
I found a couple of walkthroughs for this...
Sitecore v6.3 and previous: link
Sitecore v6.4: link
Make sure that you select the core database (bottom right of Sitecore desktop) so that you can see the /sitecore/system/Settings/Html Editor Profiles area.
In my article here the first step of wiring up an event to a button is in javascript. From there you can insert text or tags. You can also get the selected text and wrap it in tags. You don't need to compile anything I was just showing how you would if you needed to, but you can entirely cut that piece out and just use the editor to send whatever text you want back to the wysiwyg editor.
