Text layout determines the way your text will be organized in the document. Advanced capabilities in setting text layout is what distinguishes CKEditor from a standard website form text area or a basic editor. Text alignment and indentation, adding horizontal lines and block-level elements all take seconds and one mouse click.

In CKEditor the text layout features are grouped together on the toolbar. Most are simple buttons that turn the layout option on and off when you click them.
