Edit content using the enhanced editor

The Arm Community uses a customised version of TinyMCE WYSIWIG editor.

Content editing is used throughout the community. You can choose which kind of editor you want - Plain text or Enhanced - in your Settings > Options tab.

The information below applies to the enhanced editor (TinyMCE). This editor includes a toolbar of options and a content area.

• Pressing Tab while in a table cell will take you to the next horizontal column cell or row.
• Pressing Shift/Tab will create an outdent in numbered or bulleted lists.
• When you create a link in the editor, it is automatically converted to a hyperlink. For example, if you enter "Google", it becomes a live link. The rich text editor utilises Undo and Redo buttons in the GUI. (But the Ctrl+Z or Ctrl+Y keyboard shortcuts still work.)
