How Presets Work?

Default Behavior

CKEditor Pack automatically creates a separate preset from the default configuration. This gives you a ready-to-use setup and keeps the original preset unchanged.

After Modification

All custom changes are stored in your own preset. The original default configuration stays unchanged.

After Deletion

If a preset is deleted, the system uses the project default preset automatically. The editor keeps working without interruption.

Table of Contents Behavior

The editor follows the allowed tags from the RTE configuration. If a tag is not allowed, pasted content with that tag is adjusted.

Example: If <h1> is not allowed, pasted <h1> content is converted to an allowed format.

Markdown

When Markdown is enabled, CKEditor Pack can output Markdown instead of HTML.

  • Users can write with Markdown shortcuts.

  • The Source button shows raw Markdown.

  • Markdown supports headings, lists, links, and code blocks.

  • Some advanced HTML formatting is limited in Markdown.

  • Markdown and Real-time Collaboration do not work together.

Divider and Break (Separator)

You can remove a divider/break element by double-clicking it.

Load from YAML

Load from YAML reads the default RTE configuration from TYPO3 core YAML. It helps integrators quickly restore original settings.

Reset

Reset restores modified settings to default values. This gives a clean baseline and helps avoid configuration issues.

Sync

Sync aligns values between TYPO3 default RTE YAML and extension custom YAML. This reduces conflicts and keeps behavior consistent.

Import / Export Presets

Import/Export Presets helps you share and reuse CKEditor presets across TYPO3 environments. This keeps local, staging, and live systems consistent.

Import Presets

Import Presets adds presets from a YAML file into TYPO3. Upload the YAML file, and the preset is created automatically with toolbar and settings.

Export Presets

Export Presets downloads an existing or custom preset as a YAML file. You can import this file into another TYPO3 system to use the same setup.
