The User's Guide is a documentation regarding all the features of CKEditor. It explains how the program works and gives an opportunity to learn about all its functions.

The guide is divided into several sections, mainly accessible through the Table of Contents.

Each section represents a group of functions or tasks and their detailed explanation. By using the links situated at the top of the page User can easily return back to the main page or to the page.

Important Notice

Because CKEditor is extremelly configurable and its functions are customized by the developer or system administrator, not all of the functions explained in the User's Guide may be available at your installation. Other functions may not be found in the guide due to your system customizations.

Have notice that the editor interface can be different in its colors, icons and formats as well. This guide is based on the default editor interface.
