CuteEditor

NetForum uses the CuteEditor HTML editor for document templates and email when a Rich Text Box is displayed. CuteEditor allows for more flexibility when creating document templates with more options built into the user interface. This functionality is used throughout NetForum.

CuteEditor is a WYSIWYG editor and is compatible with most web browsers. It includes complete page editing, undo/redo capabilities, and the ability to strip out unnecessary markup when pasting from Microsoft Word. It is W3C, WAI compliant and meets section 508 accessibility guidelines.

Important! If you are using CuteEditor as an Html editor option (set in the My Preferences form) and facing some issue with it, NetForum recommends switching the Html editor option from CuteEditor to CKEditor.

Note: CuteEditor can display error information that might pose a security risk. To mitigate this risk, see the CuteEditor Security topic.
