Typo3 has a text editor which is similar to word processors like Microsoft Word. The text editor will appear whenever you are editing page content or news articles.
Below are some of the functions of the text editor:
Sets the font and size of the selected text.
Formats the selected text using predefined styles. Hint: The site developer will have set up some of the headers (ie: ‘Heading 1’, ‘Heading 2’) in the style of your site. Your site will look better if you use the same predefined styles constantly throughout the site.
Formats the selected text.
Changes the alignment of the selected paragraph.
Changes the left indentation of the selected paragraph.
Changes the color or the selected text.
Inserts special characters not found on the keyboard.
Inserts a horizontal line between paragraphs.
Changes the selected text/image into a hyperlink. This can link to an internal page, a page on the World Wide Web or a document. (see Linking to a page or file for more details)
Inserts an image into the text. If you have highlighted an image, clicking this button will bring up a window allowing you to change the image properties.
Inserts a table into the text. (see Adding a table for more details)
(advanced feature) If you know how to use HTML, this will allow you to edit the HTML Source behind the text. (Hint: If you want to use plain HTML, the ‘Plain HTML’ page element is more useful, as the text editor will modify your code)
Removes formatting from the selected text. You can choose to remove All Formatting, Microsoft Word formatting, Images or All HTML tags.
Allows you to undo / redo changes made in the textbox.
