Employment/Purpose

The component used to represent CKEditor

CKEditor is a popular HTML on-line text editor developed by Frederico Caldeira Knabben.

CKEditor is a text editor to be used inside web pages. It's a WYSIWYG editor, which means that the text being edited on it looks as similar as possible to the results users have when publishing it.

It brings to the web common editing features found on desktop editing applications like Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.

Example

<ckeditor width="850px">
<attribute name="value"><![CDATA[
<table width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr style="background: #B7B313; color:white;">
			<td>First Name</td>
			<td>Last Name</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>

			<td>Hayes</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Mary</td>
			<td>Bally</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
