How to hide rich text?

[creepersaur (creeper)]

I am using rich text in my game. And I have a textbox that the user can edit. But whenever the users starts to edit the text, they can see all the tags or rich text ( etc.) Here is a video of what happens.

Is there a way I can fix this so that the users don’t see the formatting and break the text?

What you will want is a separate, invisible, text box. Behind the text box would be a text label which shows what the user wrote, and so you set the text label text to what is in the box, and apply rich text to the label.
