The Rich Text editor provides users accustomed to HTML editing or other text editing applications, an easier and faster way to creating Confluence pages. It allows you to enter content as you would in a Word document, and apply formatting simply by clicking icons on a toolbar.

The 'Edit' screen lets you switch between 'Rich Text' and 'Wiki Markup' edit modes without losing the changes you've made; so you can use a combination of both while editing. For instance, you can use the rich text editor to change the text colour and then switch to Wiki Markup to create links.

You can also set the editor open either 'Wiki Markup' or 'Rich Text' by default, depending on your preference.

You can run the editor in a full-screen editing mode by clicking this icon at the far right of the toolbar.

Rich Text Editing can be disabled

This option is enabled by default. Be aware however that site administrators can disable it. If it is disabled, a site administrator will need to enable it again from the Administration Console before you can start using the Rich Text editor.

The Rich Text Editor

Right-click Context Menu

The Rich Text editor incorporates a right-click context menu that provides an additional mechanism for handling common editing actions available through the toolbar icons or keyboard shorcuts. For more information about the right-click context menu, refer to Rich Text-Right-Click Context Menu.
