Confluence Docs 3.3 : Rich Text Editor Overview
This page last changed on Mar 23, 2010 by smaddox.
If you are accustomed to HTML editing or other text editing applications, you may find that the Rich Text Editor provides an easier and faster way to create and edit Confluence pages. It allows you to enter content as you would in a Word document and apply formatting simply by clicking icons on a toolbar. The 'Edit' screen lets you switch between 'Rich Text' and 'Wiki Markup' edit modes without losing the changes you have made. You can use a combination of both while editing. For instance, you can use the Rich Text Editor to change the text colour and then switch to Wiki Markup to create links. You can also set the editor to open either the 'Wiki Markup' or the 'Rich Text' editor by default, depending on your preference.
Screenshot: The Rich Text Editor Right-click Context MenuThe Rich Text Editor incorporates a right-click context menu that provides an additional mechanism for handling common editing actions available through the toolbar icons or keyboard shorcuts. For more information about the right-click context menu, refer to Using the Context Menu in the Rich Text Editor. Drag and DropYou can drag a file such as an image, Office or PDF file from your computer and drop it directly into the Rich Text Editor. The contents of the file will be embedded directly onto the page or blog post and displayed in its entirety when viewed. Please refer to:

This feature is called 'autocomplete'. Autocomplete provides you with a fast editing solution if you prefer to use key strokes rather than pointing and clicking with the mouse.
