I had the same problem. My solution
- Go to Package Management and search for TinyMCE.
- Download it. Then click Install.
- Set the Input for my Template Variable to RichText
- Click on Resource then Template Variables and now I see the TinyMCE editor
Question
I'm new to modx Rev and I am trying to set the input field for a template variable so that it uses my chosen richtext editor. If I set the input field as rich text I just get a 1 line text field. If I set the editor as Textarea then thats all I get a text area field - there is no option in the drop down under input options for "html" as some tutorials suggest. Have I not enabled something? I am a bit lost being new to the app.

OTHER TIPS
Which rich text editor have you installed?
Is Rich Text enabled for the resource you are editing, if not then I think a different editor will be used.
Try downloading TinyMCE instead through package management, and use that one instead. Might wanna uninstall ACE to make sure it doesn't interfere somewhere.
