Selecting which rich text editor to deploy
Deploy the TinyMCE, Textbox.io rich text editors, or use the default rich text editor delivered in IBM Connections.
About this task
Consider the following factors when deciding which rich text editor to use:
Installing the Ephox Editors installs both TinyMCE and Textbox.io. TinyMCE will be the
default editor but you can change it to one of the other editors by performing the following
steps:
TinyMCE 5 | Textbox.io 2.2 | Default CK Editor |
---|---|---|
|
Note: See How image uploading works for
Textbox.io for information on restrictions to uploading images.
Note: Customers should contact Tiny (formerly Ephox) directly if they are looking for accessibility
conformance statements (VPAT or WCAG document) for the optional editor, Textbox.io.
