appsmith: [Bug]: Rich Text Editor Issues

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description

There are a few nitpicks and inconsistencies in the Rich Text Editor.

1. RichTextEditor1.text binding value has a strange experience. This could be due to how the Text Widget renders the HTML provided by the RichTextEditor1.text. Observations from the video:

• The HTML formatting stops working after a few modifications
• Linebreaks don’t show up in HTML (both in the Text Widget as well as the RTE widget, see video)

1. Also, the InputType label on the RTE property pane seems misleading. We can alternatively call it “Default Text Type/Markup Type”

Steps To Reproduce

1. Add a RTE widget.
2. Select InputType as “Markdown”
3. Add some markdown content
4. Bind the RichTextEditor1.text property to a Text widget
5. Try adding linebreaks into the markdown default content.
