Does anyone know if there's a way to add an RTE to textarea fields within salesforce? I'm fairly new to the platform but i haven't been able to find any useful documentation on this.

If you're using VisualForce, you can use the inputTextArea tag to edit/save rich text. Set the "richText" attribute to true.

The only other way I can think of would be to use an s-Control, however SalesForce is phasing out s-Controls in favor of VisualForce, so I would still recommend going that route.

In addition to the component, there's also an example of integrating the open source FckEditor component into Visualforce here:
