Editors

This section explains which editor plugins are included in Joomla's core, and how to use them. 

Content editors

  • Content editors - general information about the default editors TinyMCE and CodeMirror, and about when to use the No editor option.

  • TinyMCE - explains how to configure settings for specific user groups in TinyMCE, the built-in default editor plugin. 

  • CodeMirror - an overview of CodeMirror, the built-in editor designed to enter HTML code in an article or description, showing the settings you can configure, such as syntax highlighting and auto-completion.

HTML filters

For security reasons, not all HTML tags are allowed in your content. TinyMCE strips them out, using Joomla's Text Filter. If you use 'forbidden' HTML tags (like class), your HTML disappears. 

  • HTML filters - an explanation of HTML tags, Text Filter and how to configure filtering in TinyMCE.
