General Concepts¶
Editing Modes¶
CKEditor has three editing modes:
- “Article Editor” mode (classic RTE): Editing is done within a fixed container. It is possible to customize how the editor behaves and how the content is styled.
- “Document Editor” mode: Editing is done as in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, where the document itself mimics a sheet of paper. The focus is on structuring content and not mainly on the layout itself.
- “Inline Editor” mode: All formatting styles are reused from the surrounding HTML and CSS styles, allowing for a seamless frontend editing.
“Article Editor” mode is used in the TYPO3 Backend.
“Inline Editor mode” is used by TYPO3’s “frontend_editing” which can be found on GitHub (frontend_editing. Frontend_editing is not covered in this document.
For a demonstration of all three modes, see the CKEditor demo.
