A modern rich text editor for Rails.

• Built on top of Lexical, the powerful text editor framework from Meta.
• Good HTML semantics. Paragraphs are real <p> tags, as they should be.
• Markdown support: shortcuts, auto-formatting on paste.
• Real-time code syntax highlighting.
• Create links by pasting URLs on selected text.
• Configurable prompts. Support for mentions and other interactive prompts with multiple loading and filtering strategies.
• Preview attachments like PDFs and Videos in the editor.
• Works seamlessly with Action Text, generating the same canonical HTML format it expects for attachments.
