# preferredResultOptions

The type of content you allow Writing Tools to generate for your custom
text view.

```
var preferredResultOptions: NSWritingToolsResultOptions { get set }
```

## Discussion

Writing Tools can create plain text or rich text, and it can format text
using lists or tables as needed. If your view doesn’t support specific
types of content, specify the types you do support in this property.
The default value of this property is `NSWritingToolsResultOptions/default`,
which lets the system determine the type of content to generate.
