How can I Use the Inline Toolbar to Enjoy the Best Editing Experience?

The inline toolbar, allows users to edit content displayed on HTML pages directly in the HTML editor. It provides a true “WYSIWYG, or ‘what you see is actually what you get’, experience. There is no need to switch between the edit mode and view modes. For example, if you select text in the Froala HTML editor, the inline toolbar pops up so you can change the format without enabling edit mode.

In addition, if you go to the next line by pressing the Enter key, you see a + icon. By clicking it, you can add images, videos, or tables without switching between the edit mode and the view mode.

As you can see, the inline toolbar helps you add and edit content effortlessly. It provides a great editing experience.

How Can You Change HTML Editor’s Theme to Fit Your Website?

Every HTML editor has its own default theme, which is usually dark. You are not locked into this, however. You can quickly change it to fit the color palette of your website. With the Froala HTML editor, the process is very simple. You just need to follow these steps:

1. In your HTML file, add three containers for dark theme, gray theme, and royal theme.

<div id="eg-dark-theme">
  Dark Theme
</div>
<br/>

<div id="eg-gray-theme">
  Gray Theme
</div>
<br/>

<div id="eg-royal-theme">
  Royal Theme
</div>

2. Then, in your CSS file, add code to style your three themes.

new FroalaEditor('div#eg-dark-theme', {
        // Set dark theme name.
        theme: 'dark',
        zIndex: 2003
      })

      new FroalaEditor('div#eg-gray-theme', {
        // Set gray theme name.
        theme: 'gray',
        zIndex: 2001
      })

      new FroalaEditor('div#eg-royal-theme', {
        // Set royal theme name.
        theme: 'royal'
      })
