Joomla User Manual

Introduction¶

TinyMCE is the default editor for both frontend and backend users. It is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that uses a word-processor type interface for editing articles and other content. It is not quite WYSIWYG because the site view of an article may have styles that are not implemented in the editor view.

Toolbar Sets¶

TinyMCE is configured with 3 different sets of toolbar buttons for different user groups. Each default group can be further configured by adding or removing tools in the TinyMCE plugin edit page.

Toolset 0¶

This toolset is the most extended set and is by default assigned to the Administrator, Editor and Super Users groups.

Toolset 1¶

This toolset is assigned to the Manager and Registered groups.

Toolset 2¶

This set has minimal tools and is assigned to the Public group. It would be used for filling out public forms.

Other Settings¶

Following the toolset selectors there is a long list of parameters. All have suitable default settings for general purposes. Text filters are covered in a separate article on html filters.
