WYSIWYG Rich Text

Our Drupal sites use the CKEditor 5 tool for editing in a WYSIWYG. WYSIWYG is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get. 

Many buttons in the WYSIWYG toolbar are similar to those used to edit an email or a Word document. Below are explanations of buttons that are less common.

Media EmbedThe media embed feature lets you insert embeddable media such as Images or YouTube videos into your rich text content.
Ordered ListThe ordered list feature lets you create ordered (numbered) lists. You can use ordered lists where the order of the items matters (as in instructions). Setting the start index, or reversing the list order can be enabled separately or all at once.
Special CharacterThe special characters feature lets you insert mathematical operators, currency symbols, punctuation, graphic symbols (such as arrows or bullets), or Unicode letters typically not accessible from the keyboard (such as umlauts or other diacritics).
The block quote feature lets you easily include block quotations or pull quotes in your content. It’s also an attractive way to draw the readers’ attention to selected parts of the text.
