At Froala, we’re committed to delivering the best possible user experience. That’s why we maintain an ongoing feedback loop with our users, ensuring that we’re addressing your top-requested features and pain points. With this release, we’ve laser-focused on bringing those highly anticipated improvements to life.
So, what can you expect from Froala Editor 4.3.1? Read on to discover the fantastic improvements that will elevate your content creation workflow!
Improved Content Pasting Process
Maintaining the format of pasted text has always been a challenge for users, often leading to frustration and extra work. Many editors struggle to perform this function correctly, resulting in inconsistent and messy formatting.
Imagine pasting a complex table or a styled document into your editor, only to find the layout entirely off. You have to spend valuable time fixing it, which can be incredibly annoying and disrupt your workflow.
In the latest improvements in Froala Editor, we enhanced pasting capabilities, particularly from Microsoft Word, to ensure that the original formatting of your content is preserved seamlessly, saving you time and effort.
Froala Editor has been improved to enhance pasting capabilities, ensuring that the original formatting of your content is preserved seamlessly, saving you time and effort. Pasting from Microsoft Word, a popular text editor known for pasting issues, has been particularly problematic in the past, often resulting in lost or altered formatting and requiring manual adjustments. With the latest updates, pasting from Word is now smoother and more accurate.
Your end-users can look forward to a more seamless experience that eliminates the hassle of reformatting. With these updates, they’ll be empowered to concentrate on what truly matters: creating outstanding content that resonates
Key improvements in this release for content pasting include:
- Preserve the font size for text pasted from Microsoft Word by prioritizing CSS font-family styles over embedded Rich Text Format (RTF) styles.
- Maintaining list numbering order and style, even with extra white spaces.
- Preventing the insertion of inappropriate list items when copying and pasting part of a list item.
- Ensuring the Word Paste feature functions correctly across Android Chrome versions.
- Preserving table formatting when pasting from Word365.
- Maintaining nested table column widths without parent table overflow.
- Avoiding content duplication when multiple editor instances exist on the same page.
Enhancements to The Lists Plugin
Froala Editor allows users to create and manage various types of lists within their content using the Lists plugin. This plugin supports not only basic lists like numbered (ordered) and bulleted (unordered) lists but also advanced list types such as lower Greek and upper Roman numerals.
In this release, Froala enhanced list indenting and outdenting capabilities. We have updated the code in order to account for selections spanning multiple list levels. Additionally, the editor now considers the text-indent CSS property, disabling the outdent button if the next outdent would push the text outside the editor’s boundaries.
But that’s not all! Froala has also ensured that the editor preserves the first item’s list type when indenting the list further. This means the intended list structure is always maintained, keeping your content organized and consistent.
Much More…
We have addressed various issues reported by our users to enhance the overall performance and stability of Froala Editor. These include:
- Resolved the incorrect word replacement issue caused by the Microsoft Edge autocorrect feature.
- Resolved the issue where inserting a table on an Android device would result in one of the table cells being automatically focused.
- Resolved the issue where the href attribute values were being truncated when the editor was loaded with pre-existing HTML content.
These enhancements demonstrate Froala’s commitment to continuously improving the editor’s functionality and addressing user feedback to provide a superior content creation experience.
