Textarea TVs are flexible, and it is tempting to turn them all into rich text fields. But once TinyMCE is attached to a TV, the project needs to be clear about how that field will be edited and rendered.

  • will editors expect the same toolbar everywhere?
  • does the frontend output trust HTML from that field safely?
