> # Support for Embedded Images, Text Highlights, Wavy Underlines > > ## Summary > > This PR adds new attributes to support embedded images, text highlights, and > wavy underlines. > > The `RichEditorDemoApp` gains new context menus and enables drag and drop to > showcase the new functionality. > > <img width="768" height="703" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 12 40 28" > src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/678bdbac-6582-46ee-bd41-ea938df930bb"; > /> > > > > ## Problem > > Among the feedback received after publishing the RichTextArea incubating > module, a number of users complained about the need to support embedded > images. Other users complained about difficulty to get the text highlighted > or wavy underlined, and having these decorations controlled via CSS. > > > ## Solution > > Support for images was intentionally missing in the initial release; this PR > adds the feature. > > Adding highlights and underlines is a bit more complicated, for several > reasons. One reason is that the existing highlighting mechanism supports > mixing of arbitrary number of translucent colors - something that is pretty > much impossible to do with CSS alone. > > A useful compromise is to offer a limited number of standard attributes that > can be controlled via CSS: 5 highlights and 3 wavy underlines. > > > ## Specification > > > ### StyleAttributeMap Attributes > > New attributes: > - EMBEDDED_IMAGE > - TEXT_HIGHLIGHT_1 ...
