Best Use of TinyMCE

<a href="https://mlh.link/tinymce" target="_blank">TinyMCE</a> is a rich-text editor that allows you to create formatted content within a hacker-friendly interface. Adding a <a href="https://mlh.link/tinyMCE-docs" target="_blank">Rich Text Editor component</a> has never been easier! Alongside functionality like bold, italics, underlines, hyperlinks, or titles (to name a few), the editor also allows users to enable HTML tags, MarkDown or CSS. TinyMCE even gives you the ability to edit your text elements directly with no code, similar to the way you would edit a word document but with even more practical hackathon use cases. <br><br>TinyMCE also has <a href="https://mlh.link/tinymce-plugins" target="_blank">dozens of plugins</a> that allow developers to customize their user’s experience. From implementing accessibility checkers, autocorrect, and enhanced image editing to utilizing emoticons, adding responsive design with auto resize and even a ChatGPT AI Assistant. If your hackathon project accepts ANY type of text input, you can use TinyMCE to take it to the next level. <br><br>Signup for TinyMCE for a free trial and get started today, no credit card required! To qualify for the Best Use of TinyMCE prize category, be sure to render the editor with a Tiny Cloud account for a chance to win a 3D Printing Pen for you and each of your team members!<br>
