Creating Rich Text

This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). 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.

This section describes some features of CKEditor that allow you to create truly rich content.

A document written in an advanced online editor like CKEditor can use the best of the two worlds: desktop environment and the Internet. The text you write can by formatted like in a desktop word processor, with various font variants, styles, and sizes, block quotes, alignment, or indentation.

However, do not forget to make use of the enormous possibilities of the Internet. CKEditor brings the whole spectrum of new media that can be inserted into your documents to enrich them and create a whole new quality.

Check some of the elements that can be inserted into your texts:

Important note: Since some of these elements require additional server-side applications and permissions, not all of them may be available for a given CKEditor installation. If you have any doubts about their availability, contact your system administrator.
