Description

Creation of a new field type: single-line rich text fields. See standalone demo. Mockup:

Mockup of a single-line rich text field with bold italic line break link comments

Intended Outcome

  • Rich text features can be used for single-line text.
  • Commenting support for specific words within single-line text.

How will it work?

There will be a new field type working similarly to existing rich text support, but constrained to a single line.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Wagtail issue #8249 and RFC 46, then compare the standalone Draftail demo. The roadmap issue does not name implementation files or tests; done means delivering a new single-line rich text field with the stated rich-text and word-level commenting behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
