Free text with formatting was created by alainc1
Hi, 

I am new to limesurvey and developing questionnaires with free text entries for which users should be able to introduce formatting (e.g. headers, bold, italic, etc) in their responses.
Is that possible ?

Thanks in advance for the help

Alain

This is not implemented in LimeSurvey (any version). I recommend to submit a feature request.

See this very old thread:
forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...-in-long-text-answer

The keyword is "rich text editor".

You can check this plugin. I recommend to contact the author to ensure the plugin works with your LimeSurvey version.

To implement such an editor is not so very difficult.

Here an example with "summernote"
To show I inserted everything in the question source code
Code:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/summernote@0.8.18/dist/summernote.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/summernote@0.8.18/dist/summernote.min.js"></script> 
 
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#answer{SGQ}').summernote();
  });
</script>
Other RTF editors will be similar.

The result is this (without any customization).

And the answer in the linked post about the storing is still valid (HTML code is saved.)

...maybe a canditate for a custom question theme?
