TYPO3's Built-in Rich Text Editor

TYPO3 ships with the CKEditor (ckeditor.com) as there sophisticated built-in rich text editor (RTE). This editor contains all of the features one would expect from an Enterprise CMS, and is highly configurable and extendable to fit every project out there.

In the following, the examples for the rich-text-standard elements of the RTE are listed in more detail one after the other and all bootstrap types are considered separately ...

 

Multicolumn

Far back, behind the mountains of words, far from the countries of vowels and consonants, live the blind texts. They live in seclusion in Buchstabhausen on the coast of the Semantik, a large linguistic ocean. A small stream called Duden flows through their village and supplies them with the necessary regularities. It's a paradisiacal land where fried sentence fragments fly into your mouth. Not even the almighty punctuation controls the blind texts - an almost unorthographic life. One day, however, a small line of dummy text, her name was Lorem Ipsum, decided to go out into the wide world of grammar. The great Oxmox advised her against it, as it was teeming with nasty commas, wild question marks and sneaky semicolons, but the little blind text was undeterred. He grabbed his seven capitals, slipped his initial into his belt and set off.

Boxed Content

Hmmmm, ...???

A content element of the type ‘Boxed Content’ cannot be found, neither as a standard type nor as a bootstrap type. Or has it been translated incorrectly?

Indented Blocks

Indented blocks are not special content element types, but of the standard content element type ‘Text’, for which the ‘Frame Options’ properties can be set in the ‘Appearance’ tab. (This also applies across languages).
