What are the advantages of using a Rich text editor over a simple <textarea> in PHP?

Using a Rich text editor over a simple <textarea> in PHP allows for a more user-friendly interface with formatting options such as bold, italic, lists, and more. It provides a better user experience for creating and editing text content. Additionally, Rich text editors often have built-in validation and sanitization features to help prevent malicious code injection.
