Xris:Tutorial/Rich Text Editor

Outdated

This information is outdated. While some details may still apply in specific situations, this page was written for packages of TYPO3 that are no longer current.

I prefer the rte_pb_htmlarea RTE based on HTMLArea 3.0 for the following reasons:

• cross-browser (Works on IE and Mozilla)
• best table-editing functions (vastly superior to the default IE-only RTE)
• but: with mozilla, there have been reports with issues regarding
  • the image-browser (errors- it seems you have to install the RTE as a "local" extension)
  • the RTE adding empty lines for no obvious reason (transformation errors with BR/P's?)

Configure the RTE to have full edit capabilities:

• see the FAQ entry "Why can't I get all buttons to be displayed?" on http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/rtehtmlarea/Users_manual-745d7c913f/

Important: In order for your the IE users to see this RTE instead of the default RTE, use the following steps:

1. go to the extension module
2. select "Loaded Extensions" and activate the checkbox "Display Shy Extensions"
3. un-install "Rich Text Editor" (rte), the default RTE
4. install the rte_pb_htmlarea RTE
