What is the rich-text editor?
A rich-text editor is a tool used within web browsers that lets you edit rich text without delving into the intricacies of HTML markup. With its "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" (WYSIWYG) interface, you can format and style your content just as easily as you would in a word processor.
How to use the rich text editor
ReadyCMS's rich-text editor is intuitive, allowing you to format and style content for your web page or online shop seamlessly. Let's explore the features of the editor:
The Menu Bar
This contains various tabs such as File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Table, and Help, which house a collection of relevant tools and commands.
