Rich Text

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

Adds TinyMCE core formatting controls:

  • forecolor - Text color
  • backcolor - Background color
  • fontsize - Font size (predefined)
  • fontsizeinput - Font size (input)
  • fontfamily - Font family

Each control can be enabled in the toolbar and/or the Format menu on the plugin’s settings page.
