MintedTextEditor

Rich text editing for .NET MAUI, rendered entirely on a SkiaSharp canvas.

MintedTextEditor is organized into three packages:

• MintedTextEditor.Core: document model, editing engine, layout, formatting, commands, events, HTML interop.
• MintedTextEditor.SkiaSharp: drawing backend implementing IDrawingContext.
• MintedTextEditor.Maui: MAUI control (MintedEditorView) and platform integration.

Highlights

• Full-canvas rendering using SkiaSharp (no native text editor controls).
• Character formatting: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, subscript, superscript, font family/size, text color, highlight.
• Paragraph formatting: alignment, indentation, line spacing, headings, lists, block quote.
• Inline content: hyperlinks, images, tables.
• Editing primitives: caret navigation, selection, clipboard, undo/redo.
• Toolbar and command architecture with customizable item sets.
• Three built-in toolbar icon packs (Lucide, Heroicons, Material Symbols) — all embedded in the MintedTextEditor.Core package, no app-bundle asset setup required.
• Theme-aware toolbar icons: automatically recolored to the current theme's foreground at draw time, including full dark-mode support.
• HTML import/export pipeline.
• Theming support (light, dark, high contrast, and custom styles).
• Accessibility and localization support including RTL scenarios.

Platform Support

Quick Start

1) Install package

dotnet add package MintedTextEditor.Maui

2) Register services

In MauiProgram.cs:

using MintedTextEditor.Maui;

var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder
    .UseMauiApp<App>()
    .UseMintedTextEditor();

3) Add control in XAML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:minted="https://schemas.mintedtexteditor.com/2026"
    x:Class="MyApp.MainPage">

    <minted:MintedEditorView
        x:Name="Editor"
        ShowToolbar="True"
        PlaceholderText="Start typing..." />

</ContentPage>

4) Load or export HTML

Editor.LoadHtml("<p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p>");
string html = Editor.GetHtml();

Sample App

The repository includes a runnable MAUI sample with focused pages for:

• basic editing
• formatting
• load/save and HTML
• images and hyperlinks
• tables
• localization
• theming and toolbar icon packs

Project: samples/SampleApp.Maui

Configuration

Theming

Editor.Theme = EditorTheme.CreateDark();
Editor.UseSystemTheme = false;

Toolbar icon packs

Three icon packs are included and embedded in MintedTextEditor.Core — no extra files are needed in the app project.

Editor.ToolbarIconPack = ToolbarIconPack.Lucide;          // default
Editor.ToolbarIconPack = ToolbarIconPack.Heroicons;
Editor.ToolbarIconPack = ToolbarIconPack.MaterialSymbols;

All icons are rendered with black ink and recolored at draw time using SKColorFilter (SrcIn) to match the current theme color. Switching between light and dark themes updates icon colors automatically without reloading assets.

Events

Editor.TextChanged += (_, e) => { /* document changed */ };
Editor.SelectionChanged += (_, e) => { /* selection changed */ };
Editor.HyperlinkClicked += (_, e) => { /* inspect/cancel open */ };

For deeper API details, see docs/getting-started.md, docs/commands-events.md, and docs/toolbar-customization.md.
