Article Editor - Configuration

21


The iCM HTML Text Editor relies on the presence of certain files within the iCM installation and the associated site(s) to function correctly. The visual appearance of content displayed within the editor is dictated by the Editor Style Sheet.

The functionality and behaviour of the editor is governed by a combination of the Editor Configuration File settings and the Editor Content Rules. These settings and rules are also used to determine the html elements and attributes which are supported within article content, whether submitted within iCM via the editor, or externally via one of the APIs.

It is important that the editing of articles is tested after the editor has been fully configured. iCM checks for the existence of the relevant configuration and content rules, and will prevent any changes if they are missing. Once present, however, it is important that existing content in particular is loaded into the article editor and is checked for unexpected clean-up of content

22


• Editor Configuration File

– Dialog customisation for compliance and accessibility

– Editor toolbar customisation

• Editor Content Rules

– How and where styles can be applied
