Editors are used throughout Joomla where Content is created. Content includes: Articles, Category Introduction(s), and Module content.
TinyMCE is the default choice in most locations although CodeMirror is used in the template manager. No Editor provides a text box for html content.
The following Editor options are provided with your default Joomla installation.
- CodeMirror
- TinyMCE
- No Editor
Default off:
- None
The default, built-in TinyMCE Editor may be a good starting point while you get used to Joomla.
If you find you require "more" from your editor, here at UsingJoomla.com we recommend that you consider a Joomla specific editor which you can use - such as
JCE - Joomla Content Editor.
In Joomla, Plugins are managed via the administrator area.
