TinyMCE

TinyMCE is an online rich-text editor released as open-source software under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. TinyMCE uses a freemium business model that includes a free core editor and paid plans with advanced features. It converts HTML textarea fields, or other designated HTML elements, into editor instances.
TinyMCE is designed to integrate with JavaScript libraries such as React, Vue.js, Angular, and Stencil.js, as well as content management systems such as Joomla! and WordPress.

File management

TinyMCE is primarily a client-side application. It, consequently, does not include native file managers for various server technologies.
Multiple file manager solutions have been produced, including several open source file manager solutions, and at least two proprietary projects, developed by Tiny Technologies and EdSDK.
None of the open source file managers are still being developed or maintained and they are all incompatible with currently supported versions of TinyMCE.

Themes and skins

In TinyMCE, themes and skins refer to different aspects of the editor. A theme relates to the editor's construction, while a skin makes changes to the appearance of the editor.
In TinyMCE 5.x, the default theme is called Silver, and the default skin is called Oxide.
In TinyMCE 6.x the default theme is also called Silver, and the default skin is also called Oxide.
Skins for TinyMCE 5 or 6 can be created and customized with TinyMCE's interactive skin tool.
In Version 4 of TinyMCE, the first skin tool was created and more skins were made available in the skin/plugin repository.
TinyMCE 2.x→3.x offered various ways to customize the look and feel of the editor. TinyMCE 3.x came packaged with two themes, simple and advanced, as well as two skins for each theme, default and o2k7.

Compressor

TinyMCE also has an optional compressor pack to reduce the overall script download footprint, in the time it takes the script to initialize. The compressor pack is available for PHP, ASPX, JSP, and CFML. A third-party Ruby on Rails compressor pack is also available.

History

TinyMCE was spun out of a content management system developed by Johan “Spocke” Sorlin and Joakim Lindkvist from their original content management system, Moxiecode Content Editor, in 2004.
