summary: Add custom CSS properties to the rich-text editor.

# WYSIWYG Styles

SilverStripe lets you customise the style of content in the CMS. This is done by setting up a CSS file called
`editor.css` in either your theme or in your `mysite` folder. This is set through yaml config:

```yaml
---
name: MyCSS
---
SilverStripe\Forms\HTMLEditor\TinyMCEConfig:
  editor_css:
    - 'mysite/css/editor.css'
```

Will load the `mysite/css/editor.css` file.

## Custom style dropdown

The custom style dropdown can be enabled via the `importcss` plugin bundled with admin module. ([Doc](https://www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/importcss/))  
Use the below code in `mysite/_config.php`:

```php
use SilverStripe\Forms\HTMLEditor\TinyMCEConfig;

TinyMCEConfig::get('cms')
    ->addButtonsToLine(1, 'styleselect')
    ->setOption('importcss_append', true);
```

Any CSS classes within this file will be automatically added to the `WYSIWYG` editors 'style' dropdown.  
For instance, to
add the color 'red' as an option within the `WYSIWYG` add the following to the `editor.css`


```css
.red {
    color: red;
}
```
Adding a tag to the selector will automatically wrap with this tag. For example : 
```css
h4.red {
    color: red;
}
```
will add an `h4` tag to the selected block.

For further customisation, customize the `style_formats` option.  
`style_formats` won't be applied if you do not enable `importcss_append`.  
Here is a working example to get you started.  
See related [tinymce doc](https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-formatting/#style_formats).

```php
use SilverStripe\Forms\HTMLEditor\TinyMCEConfig;

$formats = [
    [ 'title' => 'Headings', 'items' => [
            ['title' => 'Heading 1', 'block' => 'h1' ],
            ['title' => 'Heading 2', 'block' => 'h2' ],
            ['title' => 'Heading 3', 'block' => 'h3' ],
            ['title' => 'Heading 4', 'block' => 'h4' ],
            ['title' => 'Heading 5', 'block' => 'h5' ],
            ['title' => 'Heading 6', 'block' => 'h6' ],
            [
                'title'           => 'Subtitle',
                'selector'        => 'p',
                'classes'         => 'title-sub',
            ],
        ]
    ],
    [
        'title' => 'Misc Styles', 'items' => [
            [
                'title' => 'Style 1',
                'selector' => 'ul',
                'classes' => 'style1',
                'wrapper' => true,
                'merge_siblings' => false,
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Button red',
                'inline' => 'span',
                'classes' => 'btn-red',
                'merge_siblings' => true,
            ],
        ]
    ],
];

TinyMCEConfig::get('cms')
    ->addButtonsToLine(1, 'styleselect')
    ->setOptions([
        'importcss_append' => true,
        'style_formats' => $formats,
    ]);
```
