Customization

rtePad is very easy to customize to your needs. Below is a brief walkthrough of how easy it really is to customize rtePad.

Layout

rtePad uses a simple XML file to configure the layout of the toolbar.

The XML file follows a simple easy to learn format that enables you to completely customize the layout of the toolbar and add/remove the specific toolbar buttons you wish to use.

Each instance can be completely customized by using seperate XML files. These XML files can even be dynamically generated from a database. The possibilities are endless!

Look & Feel

rtePad has been designed from the ground up to be extremely easy to customize. Although its default skin is designed to look just like Microsoft Word® 2007 it can look like anything you want it to. No style information is hard coded using javascript it has all been abstracted from the javascript entirely giving you an unprecedented level of control over the look and feel of this rich text editor. Additionally we have detailed documentation on everything inside the stylesheet to help guide you through customizing the look and feel of rtePad to suit your needs.

Inline Styles

rtePad allows you to specify inline styles to be applied to elements within the editor. This gives you unlimited options as far as styling content within the editor. You can have classes that can be applied to specific items (ie. classes that can only be applied to images) or you can have classes that can be applied to any element within the editor.

Localization

rtePad can easily be configured to use any number of languages by simply pointing to a specially formatted XML file that contains the new language definitions.

You can download any additional language files you wish to use for your deployment of rtePad from our downloads page. If the language you wish to use is not on our downloads page simply edit the default XML file to suit the language you are translating to and feel free to submit this updated language file to us so we can provide it to any other users that wish to use this language.
