Paragraph HTML Editor

CKEditor is the rich text editor integrated into Drupal for creating and editing content. It offers editors a modern, clear user interface as well as essential features for text formatting, link and media management. The editor is part of Drupal Core and is maintained through regular core updates, thus meeting Drupal’s general security and maintenance standards. For developers, a well-structured API is available, allowing the editor to be extended and adapted to project-specific requirements, for example through custom plugins or contrib modules. CKEditor forms the technical foundation for visual content editing in current Drupal versions.
