Rich Text Editor Configuration
RTEs are more effective/productive for authors when they are configured properly for the specific type of content the author is managing. A properly and effectively configured RTE has the right styles, menu options and so on. Every RTE in the system can have a different look and feel, different editing/menu options, available styles, components and other configurations. You can also SHARE setups between similar RTEs in your project. This document will help you understand how to configure RTEs in Crafter Studio.
Common Configurations for Effective RTEs
Here are some things to consider for setting up effective RTEs:
The rich text editor’s width should be set to the same width as the region it is intended to edit
Site style sheet of your site is imported so it can be applied to the RTE
Site styles are being applied appropriately to the markup in the RTE. Note that sometimes styles in CSS are so aggressively specified that the RTE cannot pick them up.
Formats and styles are configured to match the part of the site being edited
Toolbar is configured with only what is required for the specific use case (reducing options makes it easier for editors)
If plugins like
insert component,insert layoutand so on are enabled it should be fully configured.
