Rich Text

Re-enables rich text editing capabilities that Moodle’s TinyMCE editor does not enable by default.

Adds three TinyMCE core formatting controls:

  • forecolor - Text color
  • backcolor - Background color
  • fontsizeinput - Font size
  • fontfamily - Font family

That’s literally it, nothing fancy.

Quick Start

  1. Copy lib/editor/tiny/plugins/richtext/ to your Moodle lib/editor/tiny/plugins/ directory.
  2. Visit Site admin > Notifications to install.
  3. Open any TinyMCE editor. The Text color, Background color, and Font size controls appear in the formatting toolbar and the Format menu.

Caution

You shouldn’t really be using this plugin, unless you really want to. See Usage for the accessibility and theming risks.
