An HTML field enables you to
insert HTML content directly, which is useful for rich text or custom HTML content within forms.
An HTML editor provides simple functionality and HTML source
mode editing.

The HTML field editors available depend on your version of the UI.

| HTML field editor | UI support |
|-|-|
| TinyMCE version 6.8.2 | Core UI, configurable workspace |
| htmlArea (legacy) | Basic support in Core UI |
[Table 1. UI support for available HTML field editors]

{#c_UseHTMLFields__table_tlr_5sp_3r}

Knowledge articles, service catalog item descriptions, release documentation, email clients, and HTML content blocks are common examples of
entities using HTML field editors.  
Note:  
The TinyMCE v8.6.2 editor doesn't support converting Microsoft Word shapes or nested lists with custom icons into HTML.

While HTML fields can be added to split pane forms,
they
can behave unexpectedly because of the limited
width available in split pane
forms.

If accessibility is enabled, a help icon appears with the HTML field. The help icon indicates how to use keys to access and escape the HTML field toolbar.
