Inspired by a recent thread about TinyMCE style config (https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1242820269517832203/1242820269517832203) I made a little tool to help people build nicer formatting dropdowns in their RTE's and to generate the (somewhat gnarly!) mark-up required in Umbraco's appSettings: https://iomi.net/tinymce-umbraco/. Any bugs, let me know 🙂

I just fiddled around with this a bit and it's so nice! Great for anyone who doesn't want to write and format huge blocks of JSON I would love it if it had a bit of context on the website itself as to what the intent is. I had to look through the discord thread to understand why I would want to use the tool but then when I did read it, I understood immediately! A wee bit of documentation or a short video would be super excellent

Thanks Janae! I agree, some contextual help as to what it's for would make it much more useful, so I'll do that 🙂

It's so slick, though, Dan. h5yr!!

Nice!

Hi Dan, might be worth combining this with my RTE config loader package maybe

Is that the one where you can define the config in a more sensible way in code, and it creates the umbracoified version? I'm pretty sure I've seen that but can't find it — do you have a link?

Yes it is https://marketplace.umbraco.com/package/umbraco.community.rtestyleformatter

Nice! TBH I think it'd be a bit overkill to combine the two things, for the size of the problem they're tackling. I feel like they stand pretty nicely as distinct options. For people who want to configure it more nicely in code then editing the 'clean' JSON through your package is the way; for people who just want a visual builder with nothing to install then mine's there. Plus, these things are both potentially going to be redundant as I believe RTE formatting options are due to become individually configurable in forthcoming versions of Umbraco, so it's likely the configuration will be done in the data type (where it should have been all along, really). 😅

Very nice Dan!

It took a while but I've finally added some helper content to the configurator tool (thanks @Janae!). I also included a link to your RTE Style Formatter package @huwred in case anyone isn't aware of that and prefers the approach. 🙂

Yay that’s so exciting!
