JHS setting for the Display Type of Rich Text Editor

Question

In the "Display Type" settings for an item, there is no option in the JHS Definition Editor to choose a "Rich Text Editor" type. Is that intentional or an oversight?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
don't know why it's left out, but you can implement a rich text editor with a custom template (that's the answer I got when I asked the question several months ago). Here's the template code I use for implementing a rich text editor in a table:
#macro (EDITOR_POPUP)
<af:popup id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Popup" contentDelivery="lazyUncached" eventContext="launcher">
<af:dialog modal="true" resize="on" title="#TEXT_EDITOR_TITLE()" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Dialog">
<af:richTextEditor rows="10" columns="100" #ITEM_VALUE_IN_FORM()
simple="true" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorText"/>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
#end
#set ($popupId = ${JHS.page.addPopup("${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Popup","${JHS.engine.fullNamingContainerPath}","#EDITOR_POPUP()")})
#set ($popupDialogId = ${popupId.replaceAll("Popup","Dialog")})
<af:panelLabelAndMessage #ITEM_RENDERED_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS() #ITEM_HINT()>
<af:richTextEditor #ITEM_ID_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_VALUE_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_PROMPT_IN_TABLE()
#ITEM_REQUIRED_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_ROWS() #ITEM_COLUMNS()
#ITEM_READ_ONLY_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES()
#ITEM_DISABLED_IN_TABLE() #DEPENDS_ON_ITEM_PROPS_TABLE()
simple="true" partialTriggers="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorLink ${popupDialogId}">
#REGULAR_EXPRESSION_VALIDATOR()
#VALIDATOR_BINDING_IN_TABLE()
#NUMBER_CONVERTER()
</af:richTextEditor>
<af:commandLink id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorLink"
#JHS_PROP("rendered" $JHS.current.item.renderEditorLinkInTable)
immediate="true" partialSubmit="true">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="${popupId}"/>
<af:image source="/jheadstart/images/editor.gif" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Icon"
clientComponent="true"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
#ITEMS_DISPLAYED_AT_RIGHT_IN_TABLE()
