Would I be able to access those fields from my Rich Text Field? if so, how?

That converts the ID in the controller. Is there a way to convert it in the VF page on Component?

So Salesforce is trying to access the Map now. However, I am getting a Map key not found in map error. I printed out the key and the values in the Map, and the KnowledgeArticleViewStat.ParentId does not match up with the KnowledgeArticle.Id. For example, I will have a KnowledgeArticleViewStat.ParentId that is a key in the Map that is kA1W00000004CMJKA2. Then my KnowledgeArticle.Id that I am trying to use as a key to access the Map is kA1W00000004CMJ. The last 3 letters are cut off for all the KnowledgeArticle.Id. Any ideas about this?

So I changed my Apex Class to return map <Integer,String> and I changed the component and Visualforce page like you wrote. "{!results}[key]" just displays the dictionary and then literally [key]. It doesn't actually try find the value of that key. So when I load my VF page, I get this: {...}[key]

@ca_peterson I added some code in the edits.

I made some edits, can you take a look? Thanks!

@joshbirk I made the edit in my original post. VF: 24.0, Controller: 25.0
