Confluence 3.5 : Rich Text Editor Overview
This page last changed on Feb 23, 2011 by ggaskell.
If you are accustomed to HTML editing or other text editing applications, you may find that the Rich Text Editor provides an easier and faster way to create and edit 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 editor screen lets you switch between 'Rich Text' and 'Wiki Markup' edit modes without losing the changes you have made. 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 to open either the 'Wiki Markup' or the 'Rich Text' editor by default, depending on your preference. Screenshot: The Rich Text Editor Right-click Context MenuThe Rich Text Editor includes a right-click context menu that provides an alternative way of accessing some common editing actions. For more information see Using the Context Menu in the Rich Text Editor. Drag-and-DropYou can drag a file such as an image, video, audio file, Office document or PDF file from your computer, and drop the file directly into the Rich Text Editor. The contents of the file will be embedded into the page or blog post. Please refer to the following pages for more information:
