Custom style formats

Describes how to add more advanced style formats for text and other elements to the TinyMCE editor.

See the TinyMCE documentation for information about configuring style formats: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-4x/configure/content-formatting/#style_formats

public static class ServiceCollectionExtentions
    {
        public static IServiceCollection AddTinyMceConfiguration(this IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.Configure<TinyMceConfiguration>(config =>
            {
                config.For<StandardPage>(t => t.MainBody)
                    .Toolbar("styleselect")
                    .StyleFormats(
                        new { title = "Bold text", inline = "strong" },
                        new { title = "Red text", inline = "span", styles = new { color = "#ff0000" } },
                        new { title = "Red header", block = "h1", styles = new { color = "#ff0000" } },
                        new { title = "button link", classes = "btn btn-default", block="a", inline="span" }
                    );
            });
            return services;
        }
    }

Localizing formats

Add the translations to your XML translations file as children of the element <tinymce><editorstyles>. The title of the format will be used as the key in the XML.

📘
Note
The title must be lowercase and it must be a valid XML key. For example, you cannot use spaces.

So the style formats from the previous example would need to be rewritten in lowercase and with no spaces. In this case the spaces have been replaced with dashes.

config.For<StandardPage>(t => t.MainBody)
        .Toolbar("styleselect formatselect")
        .StyleFormats(
            new { title = "bold-text", inline = "strong" },
            new { title = "red-text", inline = "span", styles = new { color = "#ff0000" } },
            new { title = "red-header", block = "h1", styles = new { color = "#ff0000" } }
        )
        .BlockFormats("paragraph1=p;header1=h1;header2=h2;header3=h3");
