TinyMCE is what I've used successfully before. It's configurable to show as much or as little of the editor as you want.

Mmm... Could It save to .RTF? – kokbira Jan 23 '18 at 13:59

@kokbira: It has been years since I did anything with TinyMCE. I did a web search, but the links I saw were about the rich text editing environment that TinyMCE provides, rather than actually saving in RTF. Sorry I can't provide a better answer. – GreenMatt Jan 23 '18 at 14:15

@kokbira: After responding, I noticed you asked the same question under the other answers. Is there a reason you didn't search for a more pertinent question, or ask one yourself? There are at least 3 other questions on this site closer to your topic. One of those has an answer suggesting something named quill, see this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39002509/rtf-format-in-web-text-editor . – GreenMatt Jan 23 '18 at 16:00

@kokbira "I would think that finding an HTML to RTF converter would sound like a better idea than trying to force the editor to change its output format. CKEditor outputs clean, standards-compliant HTML code, so any good converter should be able to handle it nicely." – Keyne Viana Jan 24 '18 at 17:54
@KeyneViana - i am now looking for the best angular free editor, which one of the two you recommend more? and if you know what is the difference between ckeditor 4 and ckeditor 5 with the angular support (not features) – chaya D Mar 30 '20 at 13:00

@chayaD It looks like CKeditor has better support. – Keyne Viana Mar 30 '20 at 15:47

Try out Sir Trevor too. It's light, extensible and supports markdown.
