Adding section headings via TinyMCE

[jeffblancato]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to provide Knowledge Base users with a quick and easy mechanism for adding section headings (e.g. h2, h3, h4 tags) in order to structure an article's text. A button in the TinyMCE toolbar would be far preferable to asking our users to directly edit HTML.

I'm aware that templates could be leveraged here, but I'm not prepared to start enforcing standardized section headings via templates just yet.

This table in ServiceNow's documentation mentions a 'paragraph style' drop-down box for TinyMCE v3, but no equivalent for v4 (which we're using). Is that accurate?

If so, I'd be interested in hearing how others using the TinyMCE v4 editor may have tackled this.

Thanks!

Totally possible! There is a system property where you can select the buttons that appear in the TinyMCE editor toolbar.

glide.ui.html.editor.v4.toolbar.line1

glide.ui.html.editor.v4.toolbar.line2

Add in formatselect in the Value of the property. I thought it was there by default, but maybe not.

You can also use the TinyMCE's shortcuts for that:

Action	PC	Mac
Header 1	Alt+Shift+1	Ctrl+Option+1
Header 2	Alt+Shift+2	Ctrl+Option+2
Header 3	Alt+Shift+3	Ctrl+Option+3
Header 4	Alt+Shift+4	Ctrl+Option+4
Header 5	Alt+Shift+5	Ctrl+Option+5
Header 6	Alt+Shift+6	Ctrl+Option+6
Paragraph	Alt+Shift+7	Ctrl+Option+7

Alt Shift 2 x 1000 was so much better than so many more mouse clicks, ty ty
