WYSIWYG Editor

Features of a WYSIWYG Editor

1. Real-Time Visual Editing
   The hallmark of a WYSIWYG editor is its ability to display content as it will appear in the final product. Users can see fonts, colors, spacing, and layout changes instantly, making it ideal for those without technical coding skills.
2. Text Formatting Tools
   Similar to word processors, a WYSIWYG editor offers a toolbar with options such as bold, italic, underline, font size, and text alignment. These tools allow users to style text effortlessly.
3. Media Embedding
   Users can insert images, videos, and other multimedia elements directly into the content by dragging and dropping or using simple upload buttons. The editor typically provides options to resize or align media within the layout.
4. Hyperlink Management
   Adding and editing hyperlinks is streamlined. Users can highlight text, click a link icon, and input a URL to create clickable links without needing to write HTML anchor tags.
5. Undo/Redo Functionality
   Mistakes happen, and the WYSIWYG editor provides undo and redo buttons to quickly revert or reapply changes, ensuring a smooth editing experience.
6. Copy-Paste Compatibility
   Content can often be copied from external sources (e.g., Word documents or web pages) and pasted into the editor, with formatting either preserved or stripped based on user preference.
7. Keyboard Shortcuts
   To boost efficiency, WYSIWYG editor supports keyboard shortcuts. Common examples include Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+I (italic), Ctrl+U (underline), Ctrl+Z (undo), and Ctrl+Y (redo). These shortcuts allow power users to format content quickly without relying solely on the toolbar. You can review the available shortcuts under the Toggle Tools > (?).
8. Replacement Code and Templates
   Some of Groundhogg's WYSIWYG editors include advanced features like replacement codes (e.g., placeholders such as {username} or {date} that dynamically populate with data) and pre-built templates. These capabilities streamline repetitive tasks and enable users to create consistent, customized content with minimal effort.
9. Adjustable Content window
