<h1>Exploring the mysteries of space</h1>
<p>Space, the final frontier, stretches infinitely beyond the confines of Earth, a vast expanse of darkness speckled with stars, planets, and <b>galaxies</b>. It is a place of profound mystery and beauty, where the laws of physics manifest in ways that challenge our understanding. The cosmos is <a href="https://example/com">a cosmic dance</a> of celestial bodies moving in the silent echo of the universe, from the fiery birth of stars in nebulae to the enigmatic pull of black holes.</p>

<h2>Humanity's Journey Beyond Earth</h2>
<p>Exploring space has pushed humanity to its limits, revealing not just the universe's grandeur, but also the fragility of our own planet. Satellites orbiting Earth provide crucial data for communication, weather forecasting, and global positioning, while telescopes peer deep into the cosmos, uncovering the universe's age and composition. Each discovery in space leads us to new questions about our place in the universe, driving our insatiable curiosity to explore the unknown.</p>

Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Redactor</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8">

        <!-- css -->
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/your-folder/redactor.css" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- element -->
        <textarea id="entry">...</textarea>

        <!-- js -->
        <script src="/your-folder/redactor.js"></script>
        <script src="/your-folder/plugins/templates/templates.js"></script>

        <!-- call -->
        <script>
        Redactor('#entry', {
            plugins: ['templates'],
            templates: '/your-folder/templates.json'
        });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Usage

Templates are prepared HTML code you can insert to the editor.


Redactor('#entry', {
    templates: '/my-templates/templates.json'
});

Example of JSON:


{
    "mytemplate": {
        "name": "My Template",
        "html": "...html code..."
    },
    "mytemplate2": {
        "name": "My Other Template",
        "html": "... html code ..."
    }
}

Or you can set the JSON object directly to the setting like this:


Redactor('#entry', {
    templates: {
        "mytemplate": {
            "name": "My Template",
            "html": "... html code ..."
        },
        "mytemplate2": {
            "name": "My Other Template",
            "html": "... html code ..."
        }
    }
});

Redactor builds a preview of the template automatically as an html preview. But for more accurate display, you can specify a screenshot of the template with image size 100x130px:


{
    "mytemplate": {
        "name": "My Template",
        "image": "my-templates/my-template.png",
        "html": "..."
    }
}

CSS

Redactor overrides content styles unless you have nostyle: true setting enabled. So a template can show incorrectly even if CSS template styles are present on your page where the editor is running. That's why it's better to add styles defining the template to the page, for example like this:


<style>
/* template styles on your page */
.mytemplate p {
    ...
}

/* template styles for Redactor */
.rx-content .mytemplate p {
    ...
}
</style>
