What HugeRTE is
HugeRTE is a free, MIT-licensed, open-source WYSIWYG editor for applications that need rich text editing. It is a fork of the last MIT-licensed TinyMCE version and can run self-hosted or inside an application. More than 30 plugins cover tables, images, media embeds, pasted images, code samples, accordions, emoji, autosave, fullscreen, and search and replace. Developers can arrange toolbar buttons into groups or render the editor inline. HugeRTE can be loaded from jsDelivr or installed with npm, yarn, or Composer, then bundled with Vite, Rollup, or Webpack through ES6 imports. Listed first-class wrappers support React, Vue 2 and 3, Angular 17+, and Blazor; Rails and Laravel Nova have community integrations. The maker says no account, API key, telemetry, remote service, or domain restriction is needed, and content remains in the application. TinyMCE 6 language packs are supported, and the API is described as compatible with TinyMCE 6.
