Rich Text with Summernote

The Summernote editor is a very compact WYSIWYG editor.
An important characteristic of this editor is that it will not upload images to the server but it will inject them Base-64 encoded inside the text.
So you should probably not use this editor for large images inside a text.

    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "ModuleTitle": {
            "title": "Main Title",
