WYSYWIG = What You See Is What You Get
Wagn uses the customizable TinyMCE editor for user-friendly editing of rich text, so that users don't have to learn a lot of markup.
Example
Our *tinyMCE card here on wagn.org has:
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "formatselect,bold,italic,"
The "formatselect" is what makes the menu appear in our edit toolbar, and the "bold" and "italic" puts the corresponding buttons there as well:
There's also a line with:
theme_advanced_blockformats : "p,h1,h2,pre",
...which is why the menu offers Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, and Preformatted.
How To
Simply edit the *tinyMCE card to your heart's content (on your Wagn — here, you can only edit it if you have the role of Developers). See the TinyMCE configuration documentation and especially their button documentation to learn about everything that you can do.
Tips
- You can separate very long lines contained in quotes by putting an endquote and starting a new line with a plus and opening the quote again. We use this trick in our *tinyMCE card to keep theme_advanced_buttons1 and extended_valid_elements from running off the right edge of the card:
- To format text as monospaced (as you see in the example above), you can add "pre" to theme_advanced_blockformats and "Preformatted" will appear as an option in the Format menu.
