Not able to use colors(TextColor,BGColor) and styles(Font,FontSize) in toolbar
This is not related to the GrapesJS core library and probably not even the plugin. Check the CKEditor documentation please (you might missing some plugin)
Read full answer below βQuestion
Hi artf,
I am adding colors and styles section in toolbar. I am able to see other sections but not colors and styles in the editor.
"gjs-plugin-ckeditor": { position: "center", options: { toolbar: [ { name: 'styles', items: ['Font', 'FontSize'] }, { name: 'basicstyles', items: ['Bold', 'Italic', 'Strike', '-', 'RemoveFormat'] }, { name: 'links', items: ['Link', 'Unlink'] }, { name: 'colors', items: ['TextColor', 'BGColor'] } ] } },
Am I doing anything wrong in the above code. Can you help me out with this? @artf
Thanks in advance.
