For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

What the docs don't make clear is that adding you own styles is a TWO-STEP process.
 +
 +
 +
First you need to tell FCKeditor where to find your .css file.
 +
 +
e.g:  FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'my_fck_sample_styles.css' ;
 +
 +
 +
Now, if you want your styles to appear in the drop-down box, you need to point the editor to your XML file.
 +
 +
e.g.:  FCKConfig.StylesXmlPath = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'my_custom_css_xml.xml';

I wanted to know how to link a style defined in a .css file to the styles in fckstyles.xml. The explanation on this Wiki page is so terse that it was impossible for me to understand (my knowledge of css is basic)

I found this page which makes it a lot clearer.

What the docs don't make clear is that adding you own styles is a TWO-STEP process.


First you need to tell FCKeditor where to find your .css file.

e.g: FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'my_fck_sample_styles.css' ;


Now, if you want your styles to appear in the drop-down box, you need to point the editor to your XML file.

e.g.: FCKConfig.StylesXmlPath = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'my_custom_css_xml.xml';
