If you are accustomed to HTML editing or other text editing applications, you may find that the Rich Text Editor provides an easier and faster way to create and edit Confluence pages. It allows you to enter content as you would in a Word document and apply formatting simply by clicking icons on a toolbar.

The 'Edit' screen lets you switch between 'Rich Text' and 'Wiki Markup' edit modes without losing the changes you have made. You can use a combination of both while editing. For instance, you can use the Rich Text Editor to change the text colour and then switch to Wiki Markup to create links.

You can also set the editor to open either the 'Wiki Markup' or the 'Rich Text' editor by default, depending on your preference.

Rich Text Editing can be disabled

The Rich Text editing option is enabled by default. Be aware however that site administrators can disable it. If it is disabled, a site administrator will need to enable it again from the Administration Console before you can start using the Rich Text Editor.

Right-click Context Menu

The Rich Text Editor incorporates a right-click context menu that provides an additional mechanism for handling common editing actions available through the toolbar icons or keyboard shorcuts. For more information about the right-click context menu, refer to Using the Context Menu in the Rich Text Editor.

Drag and Drop

You can drag a file such as an image, Office or PDF file from your computer and drop it directly into the Rich Text Editor. The contents of the file will be embedded directly onto the page or blog post and displayed in its entirety when viewed. Please refer to:

  • Drag-and-Drop for more information about Confluence's drag and drop feature and prerequisites for setting this up
  • Inserting an image for more information about embedding images onto a Confluence page or blog post
  • Displaying Office Files in Confluence for more information about embedding Office and PDF files onto a Confluence page or blog post

Full Screen Mode

You can run the editor in a full-screen edit mode by clicking the 'Toggle fullscreen mode' icon at the far right of the toolbar.

オートコンプリート

When using the Rich Text Editor, you can enter a trigger character or press a keyboard shortcut to call up a list of suggested links, images or documents to add to your page. This feature is called 'autocomplete'. Autocomplete provides you with a fast editing solution if you prefer to use key strokes rather than pointing and clicking with the mouse.

Quick summary of autocomplete:

  • '[' or Ctrl+Shift+K to see a list of suggested links.
  • '!' or Ctrl+Shift+M to see a list of suggested images or documents.

For the details, see the page about autocomplete in the Rich Text Editor.
