## Implemented Interfaces

GdauiRtEditor implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

## Description

The text entered in the editor can be formatted using bold, underline, title, ... attributes and then extracted using a subset of the txt2tags markup. Use this widget to edit textual fields where some markup is desirable to organize the text.

For example the real text used to obtain the formatting in the figure is:

    blah //italic// blah.
    and ** BOLD!//both italic and bold// Bold!**
    Nice Picture: [[[R2RrUAA...y8vLy8tYQwAA]]] Yes
    - List item --One--
    - List item **Two**
    - sub1
    - sub2

where the picture's serialized data has been truncated here for readability (between the [[[ and ]]] markers). Pictures are usually inserted using the incorporated tollbar and not y hand (even though it's possible).
