Formatting content
The formatting options interface depend on the Editor you are using.
Many editors are available as Open Source (through http://developer.joomla.org) or commercial products.
Mambo comes with 2 default editors:
- NO WYSIWYG: This editor lets you enter text and/or HTML code directly.
- TinyMCE: This editor lets edit in WYSIWYG or HTML mode (See specific Help).
NOTE: It is advised to publish only one editor at a time in Mambot Manager and to save also that choice in Global Configuration.
NOTE: It is not advised to use the Mambot tag { mospagebreak } in this description field.
The following parameters will only show once the section is applied or saved.
