Rich Text¶

The Rich Text application in CryptPad is an integration of CKEditor.

View settings¶

The buttons at the top of the editor control the display of text editor elements.

: Show/hide the document outline.

: Show/hide the comments (a red icon when closed indicates that there are comments).

: Use the full width of the window for the text editor.

: Use reduced width "page mode" for the text editor.

To set defaults for these settings, for example to control which sections are visible when recipients visit a shared link to the document, use the Document Settings dialog:

File > Document Settings.

Editing¶

Headings¶

In order for headings to appear in the outline, they must be formatted as such. To format a heading, select the text or place the cursor on the heading line, then either:

Use the formatting menu in the toolbar (displays "normal" by default) to select the desired heading level.
Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + the number of the desired heading level.

Paragraphs¶

By default the Enter key creates a new paragraph, adding a line of spacing with the previous paragraph. To add a line-break without adding a new paragraph, use Shift + Enter.

Note

Take a look at the CKEditor documentation for a complete list of the available shortcuts.
