Welcome to our newest batch of UI enhancements: the multiline (wrapping) toolbar that you all asked for and the accessible input labels on interface items! Not convenient enough? Upload images by pasting their URL, track changes for pasting table styles, integrate with Vue.js 3, use Markdown shortcodes… Simply put - write well, edit well, stay well.

CKEditor is an open source rich-text editor. Even though it is mostly developed by CKSource, it has a large community of contributors backing the development efforts. One of the popular questions that we receive time and time again is the availability of Markdown editing. The simple answer is yes.

Pasting tables into tables in track changes mode, documentation updates and a new release of the React component will also, hopefully, please the CKEditor community.

Google believes in a Web that can compete with native applications unintimidated. One of the areas in which native applications for years have been superior to web applications was detecting shapes in images. Tasks such as face recognition were not possible until recently… But not anymore!

There are lots of use cases that address fundamental business needs, but CKEditor can see further than that. Sometimes there are wide-reaching problems on a societal level that deserve attention, like urban planning, zoning, or natural resource management. Rising to affect change in these areas can be larger than even a government’s competency to solve them. Modern societal problems require collaboration from multiple sides, and we’ve got the technology to facilitate that.

A student information system’s chief goal is to aid school communication of news and announcements between students, teachers, parents, faculty, and staff. So what, then, is effective school communication? The goal is the same whether you’re a student information system vendor or a school administrator who oversees your institution’s own homebrewed solution: a student information system that optimizes communication no matter the situation. Rich-text editing can aid in reaching that goal.

There are things that we tend not to notice since they are so obvious — or we just do not need to think about them.

Let’s look into one of such things: Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).

Probably everyone who knows the Vue.js framework also heard about its single-file components. This super simple idea allows web developers to define the entire code of a component in one file. It is such a useful solution that an initiative to include this mechanism in browsers has already appeared. However, it seems quite dead as, unfortunately, no progress has been made since August 2017. Nevertheless, looking into this topic and trying to make single-file components work in the browsers using the technologies already available was an interesting experiment to undertake.

A lot has happened on the collaboration front in CKEditor 5, so we are very excited to share the results of the work that we have done in recent months with you.

Every website should pass through an accessibility audit to check if it is really inclusive for every user willing to use your product. However, very often you do not have the time or funds to go for a complete, professional audit. Sometimes it is enough to check the basics and increase the accessibility on your own. This checklist will help you perform a basic web accessibility audit to ensure that some common accessibility issues present on your site will be wiped out with a reasonable effort.

Creating a website nowadays is much easier than it used to be several years ago. New tools, frameworks, and libraries allow you to create a unique and unforgettable experience for your users. But at the same time, new challenges emerge. Making the whole thing accessible is one of them.

Real-time collaboration is a feature we wanted to introduce since the inception of CKEditor 5. The research that we made back in 2012 and some failed attempts that we observed all around showed us that full support for collaborative editing for rich-text data cannot be added on top of existing projects.

There is, unfortunately, a silent consensus around the web that making your product accessible is an optional task. For many web developers it is a nice-to-have feature, not a core requirement — since lack of accessibility would be an obstacle for a limited part of your target audience only. But is it really so?

It has been a long time coming, but after almost 4 years of research, planning and developing, we give you a totally new experience in rich text editing — CKEditor 5.

You often consider writing a new piece of software when the products already available on the market seem insufficient in terms of their functionalities, or simply do not fit the goals of your company.

However, when you consider these few points before you decide to create a completely new content editing solution, it becomes clear that reinventing the wheel is the last thing in which your company should be involved.

If not entangled in a love-hate relationship, WYSIWYG editors are usually taken for granted by the online community. Most users think sites and CMSs naturally come with such tools, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Unless a site uses a CMS like Drupal 8 that includes CKEditor by default, developers and site owners have to manually implement them.

The CKEditor team would like to wish the community a happy Holidays!

Picking a WYSIWYG editor for your project can be a daunting task. Choices abound with a few major players like CKEditor dominating the market. HTML editors can give your website an additional layer of usability, but adding third-party components to any online project should be done with great care.

We’re back with another CKEditor Weekly! CKEditor 4.4.6 should be out next week; we have a few more updates on the Documentation and SDK sites; and we have news on a CKEditor 4.5 feature. Read on for details…

As the creators of a highly popular WYSIWYG rich text editor, CKSource is no stranger to proper web standards.

CKSource is proud of being fully committed to the cause – a decision that has brought the company unexpected benefits.

It’s official! CKEditor is 10 years old! Exactly a decade ago I endeavored on a JavaScript project for Internet Explorer 6 (WAT!) bearing my initials (I was young and crazy). The result was an Open Source WYSIWYG editor called FCKeditor, later CKEditor (find the easter egg on our home page!). Time sure flew by… Today we are celebrating the editor’s 10th anniversary!

As a way of saying thanks to the loyalty of every CKEditor user around the world, in the course of the CKEditor 10 Year Anniversary celebrations, CKSource will be donating to various rainforest tree-planting charities based on your activity!

Great news for CKEditor and its community: Drupal, one of the most used CMS platforms in the world, decided that CKEditor 4 will be the editor included inside Drupal 8, which should be hitting the market by the end of 2013.

The arrival of CKEditor 4 introduced three important website features that affect how the editor is customized. First, CKEditor now has three main Download Packages: Basic, Standard and Full. Second, the new website has an Add-ons Repository where community-made plugins can be freely uploaded and shared. Third, complimenting the repository is a feature called CKBuilder that lets you add or remove plugins, skins and languages from the download packages. The idea was to create a lean default editor while simplify the customization process.

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 4.0.1 for Drupal 6+ & 7+. The new version introduces enhancements in performance, code and stability, as well as CKFinder 2.3.1 and a leaner interface! It’s the first v4 integration for Drupal, which represents a big step forward for CKEditor on the popular CMS.

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 4.0.1 for Joomla 1.7+ & 3.0+.

The CKEditor team is happy to announce the release of CKEditor 4.0.1. This latest update introduces a slew of changes. For starters, a few issues have been corrected in Magicline, a new CKEditor 4 feature that allows you to place the cursor around elements that normally cause positioning trouble, like tables and line breaks. The team is particularly proud of this feature as it offers a unique and user-friendly solution to a problem that is present in most WYSIWYG web text editors.

The CKEditor and CKFinder team would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Spend time with loved ones, be safe, and keep a close eye on all the cool, new things we have in store for the future. 2013 will be an even more interesting year!
