WordPress wysiwyg editor tinyMCE overview
WordPress give you two different ways to edit your content depending what is most comfortable to you. The visual editor is power by the standard editor tinyMCE, which is a lot like a word processor. It gives you what you see and what you get to format text, links, medias, and spell check located on the tinyMCE toolbar.
You can add text, italic text, straight through by selecting the text. You can also add unordered bullet point list or order list by toggling these option on all off. You can also resize tinyMCE editor, by clicking then hold and drag the lower right corner of the WYSIWYG tinyMCE editor.
You can add block quotes, align the text left, center, or right, add or break links, or insert a more tag in your content. You can also change the language on your spell checker, view in full screen mode for true word processing experience or open more options with the Show/Hide Kitchen Sink button.
The Show/Hide Kitchen Sink button will show you more options such as paragraph styling, text color, insert text from plain text or Microsoft Word, inserting upload media content like flash or images, insert custom characters, indenting text and more.
If you prefer to work with HTML, select the HTML tab to enter your HTML markup code by hand or even insert your PHP code in your tinyMCE. Also, you can use these simple quick tags at the top of the tinyMCE editors to speed things up. If you want to make your text bold, you simply highlight the text and click on the B and the appropriate code will be added around the text.
Quick tags make it easy to format text, add links, insert data such as date and time, insert images, create lists, format code, and add a more tag to separate the head and body of your post. Whichever way you feel most comfortable working, WordPress gives you the options to quickly put your posts and pages together with minimum hassle.
