  block_formats: 'Paragraph=p; Header 1=h1; Header 2=h2; Header 3=h3'
});

default_font_stack

This option changes the default font stack that is considered as the "System Font" stack in the fontfamily toolbar and menu items. It’s should be an array of font family names that matches the default fonts in the the configured content_css CSS file.

Type: Array

Default value: [ '-apple-system', 'Segoe UI', 'Roboto', 'Helvetica Neue', 'sans-serif' ]

Example: using default_font_stack

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'fontsize',
  default_font_stack: [ '-apple-system', 'Arial' ]
});

font_family_formats

This option defines the fonts to be displayed in the fontfamily dropdown toolbar button and the fontfamily menu item. Each item in the string should be separated by semi-colons and specified using the form of: title=font-family.

Type: String

Default value:

'Andale Mono=andale mono,times; Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif; Arial Black=arial black,avant garde; Book Antiqua=book antiqua,palatino; Comic Sans MS=comic sans ms,sans-serif; Courier New=courier new,courier; Georgia=georgia,palatino; Helvetica=helvetica; Impact=impact,chicago; Symbol=symbol; Tahoma=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; Terminal=terminal,monaco; Times New Roman=times new roman,times; Trebuchet MS=trebuchet ms,geneva; Verdana=verdana,geneva; Webdings=webdings; Wingdings=wingdings,zapf dingbats'

  toolbar: 'fontfamily',
  font_family_formats: 'Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif; Courier New=courier new,courier,monospace; AkrutiKndPadmini=Akpdmi-n'
});

font_size_formats

This option allows you to override the font sizes displayed in the fontsize dropdown toolbar button and the fontsize menu item. Each item in the string should be space or comma-separated and include units.

Type: String

Default value: '8pt 10pt 12pt 14pt 18pt 24pt 36pt'

Example: using font_size_formats

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'fontsize',
  font_size_formats: '8pt 10pt 12pt 14pt 16pt 18pt 24pt 36pt 48pt'
});

font_size_input_default_unit

This option sets the default unit of measure for typeface sizes as input in, for example, the fontsizeinput toolbar button’s text-entry field.

Numbers entered in the fontsizeinput toolbar without a qualifying unit of measure will be calculated using the unit of measure set.

Type: String

Default value: pt

Possible values: pt, px, em, cm, mm

If font_size_input_default_unit is set to an invalid value (ie, any string other than one of the possible values listed above), the setting is ignored. In such a case, numbers entered in the fontsizeinput toolbar without a qualifying unit of measure are also ignored.

Example: using font_size_input_default_unit

tinymce.init({
    selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
    toolbar: "fontsizeinput",
    font_size_input_default_unit: "pt"
});

line_height_formats

This option allows you to override the line heights displayed in the lineheight dropdown toolbar button and the lineheight menu item. Each item in the string should be space separated.

Type: String

Default value: '1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 2'

Example: using line_height_formats

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea', // change this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'lineheight',
  line_height_formats: '1 1.2 1.4 1.6 2'
});

indentation

This option allows specification of the indentation level for indent/outdent buttons in the UI.

The indentation option defaults to 30px but can be any value.

Type: String

Default value: '40px'

Example: using indentation

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  indentation: '20pt'
});

indent_use_margin

This option is set if the editor should use margin instead of padding when indenting content.

Type: Boolean

Default value: false

Example: using indent_use_margin

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  indentation: '20pt',
  indent_use_margin: true
});

preview_styles

This option lets you configure the preview of styles in format/style listboxes. Enter a string with the styles that you wish to preview separated by a blankspace, or disable the preview of all styles by setting it to false.

If unset the editor will preview the styles listed in the default value listed below.

Type: Boolean or String

Default value: 'font-family font-size font-weight font-style text-decoration text-transform color background-color border border-radius outline text-shadow'

Possible values: String, false

Example: using preview_styles

No preview of styles:

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  mode: 'textareas',
  preview_styles: false
});

Preview of only font-size and color:

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  mode: 'textareas',
  preview_styles: 'font-size color'
});

style_formats

This option allows you to define custom items for the styles dropdown toolbar button and the styles menu item.

There are four types of items the array can contain:

  • Style: The item must have a title and the necessary fields to specify a new format. An optional name can be provided for the style, which will be prefixed with custom- to ensure that it does not override the default editor formats. If given a unique name, the style can be used with the formatting API. The item will be rendered in the UI as a clickable item that applies the given format.

  • Style reference: The item must have a title and a format which refers to a pre-registered editor format. The item will be rendered in the UI as a clickable item that applies the given format.

  • Nested menu: The item must have a title and an items array that contains other items that will be rendered as a sub-menu.

  • Group heading: The item must only have a title and will be rendered as a non-clickable heading within the menu. This is useful for grouping items without using nested menus.

To merge custom styles with the default styles_format values, set style_formats_merge to true.

Type: Array

Default value: The following is the default value for style_formats where it is using references to existing formats:

style_formats: [
  { title: 'Headings', items: [
    { title: 'Heading 1', format: 'h1' },
    { title: 'Heading 2', format: 'h2' },
    { title: 'Heading 3', format: 'h3' },
    { title: 'Heading 4', format: 'h4' },
    { title: 'Heading 5', format: 'h5' },
    { title: 'Heading 6', format: 'h6' }
  ]},
  { title: 'Inline', items: [
    { title: 'Bold', format: 'bold' },
    { title: 'Italic', format: 'italic' },
    { title: 'Underline', format: 'underline' },
    { title: 'Strikethrough', format: 'strikethrough' },
    { title: 'Superscript', format: 'superscript' },
    { title: 'Subscript', format: 'subscript' },
    { title: 'Code', format: 'code' }
  ]},
  { title: 'Blocks', items: [
    { title: 'Paragraph', format: 'p' },
    { title: 'Blockquote', format: 'blockquote' },
    { title: 'Div', format: 'div' },
    { title: 'Pre', format: 'pre' }
  ]},
  { title: 'Align', items: [
    { title: 'Left', format: 'alignleft' },
    { title: 'Center', format: 'aligncenter' },
    { title: 'Right', format: 'alignright' },
    { title: 'Justify', format: 'alignjustify' }
  ]}
]

Example: using style_formats

This example shows how to append 3 new style formats.

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  style_formats: [
    { title: 'Bold text', inline: 'b' },
    { title: 'Red text', inline: 'span', styles: { color: '#ff0000' } },
    { name: 'my-inline', title: 'My inline', inline: 'span', classes: [ 'my-inline' ] }
  ],
  // The following option is used to append style formats rather than overwrite the default style formats.
  style_formats_merge: true
});

  ],
  visualblocks_default_state: true,
  end_container_on_empty_block: true,
  content_style: 'body { font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px }'
});

style_formats_autohide

This option enables auto hiding of styles that can’t be applied to the current context. For example: if a style applies only to tables, it wouldn’t be visible in the styles drop down when the caret isn’t inside a table. By default, irrelevant menu items are disabled

Type: Boolean

Default value: false

Example: using style_formats_autohide

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  style_formats: [
    { title: 'Red cell', selector: 'td', classes: 'red' },
    { title: 'Red text', inline: 'span', styles: { color: '#ff0000' } }
  ],
  style_formats_autohide: true
});

style_formats_merge

This option allows you to set whether TinyMCE should append custom styles defined using the style_formats setting to the default style formats or completely replace them.

Type: Boolean

Default value: false

Example: using style_formats_merge

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  style_formats: [
    { title: 'Bold text', inline: 'b' },
    { title: 'Red text', inline: 'span', styles: { color: '#ff0000' } }
  ],
  style_formats_merge: true
});

Text color options

These options affect the color selector shown when using the forecolor (text color) and backcolor (text background) toolbar buttons or menu items. The dimensions and mapping of the grid of text colors can be set here.

color_cols

This option allows for specifying the number of columns for text color grids. The number of rows is calculated based on the number of text colors supplied divided by the specified number of columns.

By default, the number of rows and columns is dependent of the number of colors specified using color_map. The dimensions of the grid will be calculated by TinyMCE to keep the grid a square or a rectangle with a minimum of 5 columns.

Type: Integer

Example: using color_cols

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_cols: 5
});

color_cols_background

This option specifies the number of columns for background text color grids.

If color_cols_background is not set, the number of columns a highlight color grid takes is set by the color_cols option.

If both color_cols and color_cols_background options are set, the color_cols_background value is used.

If neither color_cols nor color_cols_background options are set, the highlight color grid presents with the default number of columns, 5.

Type: Number

Default value: 5

Example: using color_cols_background

This example sets the number of columns in the default color grid to 10 then sets the background text color grid to display 3 columns.

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your html
  toolbar: 'backcolor forecolor',
  color_cols: 10,
  color_cols_background: 3,
});

color_cols_foreground

This option specifies the number of columns for foreground text color grids.

If color_cols_foreground is not set, the number of columns a foreground text color grid takes is set by the color_cols option.

If both color_cols and color_cols_foreground options are set, the color_cols_foreground value is used.

If neither color_cols nor color_cols_foreground options are set, text color grid presents with the default number of columns, 5.

Type: Integer

Default value: 5

Example: using color_cols_foreground

This example sets the number of columns in the default color grid to 10 then sets the foreground text color grid to display 3 columns.

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your html
  toolbar: 'backcolor forecolor',
  color_cols: 10,
  color_cols_foreground: 3,
});

color_map

This option allows for specifying a map of the text colors that will appear in the grid.

Colors are added to the array with a Hex or RGB color value, followed by the name of that color as it would appear in the color grid when hovered over. Both values are required for each color added to the color map.

Type: Array

Example: using color_map

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_map: [
    '000000', 'Black',
    '808080', 'Gray',
    'FFFFFF', 'White',
    'FF0000', 'Red',
    'FFFF00', 'Yellow',
    '008000', 'Green',
    '0000FF', 'Blue'
  ]
});

If color_map is not explicitly set, TinyMCE populates color grids with a default set of 22 colors.

Example: explicitly setting color_map to the default TinyMCE color set

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_map: [
    '#BFEDD2', 'Light Green',
    '#FBEEB8', 'Light Yellow',
    '#F8CAC6', 'Light Red',
    '#ECCAFA', 'Light Purple',
    '#C2E0F4', 'Light Blue',
    '#2DC26B', 'Green',
    '#F1C40F', 'Yellow',
    '#E03E2D', 'Red',
    '#B96AD9', 'Purple',
    '#3598DB', 'Blue',
    '#169179', 'Dark Turquoise',
    '#E67E23', 'Orange',
    '#BA372A', 'Dark Red',
    '#843FA1', 'Dark Purple',
    '#236FA1', 'Dark Blue',
    '#ECF0F1', 'Light Gray',
    '#CED4D9', 'Medium Gray',
    '#95A5A6', 'Gray',
    '#7E8C8D', 'Dark Gray',
    '#34495E', 'Navy Blue',
    '#000000', 'Black',
    '#ffffff', 'White'
  ]
});

color_map_raw

The color_map_raw option specifies a map of text colors that appear in the color picker grid. This configuration provides detailed control over the colors available for the forecolor and backcolor toolbar options. The following example shows how to set the color map using CSS variables, color functions, and hex codes.

Type: Array

Example: using color_map_raw

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea', // Adjust this value according to your HTML
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_map_raw: [
    'var(--black)', 'Black', // CSS variable-based colors
    'var(--red)', 'Red',
    'hsb(0, 100%, 100%)', 'White hsb', // Color functions like hsb() and hsl()
    'hsl(0, 100%, 50%)', 'Red hsl',
    '#ff00ff', 'Pink', // Hex code-based colors
    '#00ffff', 'Cyan',
    'var(--purple)', 'Purple', // User-friendly labels for easy identification such as 'Purple'.
    '#00FF7F', 'Spring Green'
  ],
});

color_map_background

This option allows for specifying a map of the text colors that will appear in the highlight color grid.

If it is not set, the highlight color grid takes it values from the color_map array.

And, if the color_map array is, further, not set, the highlight color grid takes it values from the TinyMCE default color set.

That is, the highlight grid takes its values in the following priority order:

  1. a set color_map_background color array is used in preference to

  2. a set color_map color array, which is used in preference to

  3. the default TinyMCE color array.

Type: Array

Example: using color_map_background

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your html
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_map_background: [
    '000000', 'Black',
    '808080', 'Gray',
    'FFFFFF', 'White',
    'FF0000', 'Red',
    'FFFF00', 'Yellow',
    '008000', 'Green',
    '0000FF', 'Blue'
  ]
});

color_map_foreground

This option allows for specifying a list of the text colors that will appear in the text color grid.

If it is not set, the text color grid takes it values from the set color_map array.

And, if the color_map array is, further, not set, the text color grid takes it values from the TinyMCE default color set.

That is, the text color grid takes its values in the following priority order:

  1. a set color_map_foreground color array is used in preference to

  2. a set color_map color array, which is used in preference to

  3. the default TinyMCE color array.

Type: Array

Example: using color_map_foreground

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your html
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_map_foreground: [
    '000000', 'Black',
    '808080', 'Gray',
    'FFFFFF', 'White',
    'FF0000', 'Red',
    'FFFF00', 'Yellow',
    '008000', 'Green',
    '0000FF', 'Blue'
  ]
});
End-user customisation of text color grids
When end-users add a new custom color via a text color grid, that color is added to the associated text color grid but the new custom color is only held in the host browser’s local storage.

If, for example, an end-user adds a custom color to the foreground text color grid, that new color is presented in the foreground text color grid in the end-user’s {productname} instance. The new custom color is not, however, stored in any of the instance’s color map arrays.

Also, when a user adds a custom color to one palette (for example, the `color_map_background` palette), the {productname} editor instance does not replicate the new custom color in the complementary palette (for example, the `color_map_foreground` palette).

color_default_background

This option allows the user to replace the background default color for the toolbar buttons and menu items.

Once set, the background color for the toolbar button will then render the new color set in the color_default_background options. This will then apply the new background color to any text that has been selected after the button is pressed.

Assuming a color_map is also set (and it is set by default) other colors in the color_map are visible by opening the backcolor toolbar’s menu.

Type: String

Example: using color_default_background

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your html
  toolbar: 'forecolor backcolor',
  color_default_background: 'yellow',
});

color_default_foreground

This option allows the user to replace the foreground default color for the toolbar buttons and menu items.

Once set, the foreground color for the toolbar button will then render the new color set in the color_default_foreground options. This will then apply the new foreground color to any text that has been selected after the button is pressed.

Assuming a color_map is also set (and it is set by default) other colors in the color_map are visible by opening the forecolor toolbar’s menu.

Type: String

Example: using color_default_foreground

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your html
  toolbar: 'forecolor',
  color_default_foreground: 'red',
});
