type = ‘nicedit’ (deprecated)

Editable region of type nicedit can be used as a light-weight alternative to editable region of type richtext.
It is primarily meant to be used with repeatable regions (as type `richtext’ does not support being repeated), however it can be used as an independent editable region too.

Unlike ‘richtext’ that uses CKEditor - a full fledged Wysiwyg editor, ‘nicedit’ is somewhat limited in the wysiwyg features it offers but is perfect for situations where only basic HTML editing capability is required.

A region of this type may either be defined like this :

<cms:editable type='nicedit' label='Description' name='my_desc' />

<cms:editable type='nicedit' label='Description' name='my_desc' >
This enclosed text will appear as the default value of the editor
</cms:editable>

Parameters

In addition to the parameters common to all the types of editable regions, nicedit accepts the following parameters

width
height
maxheight
buttons

width

height

maxheight

The dimensions of the editor can be changed by setting the width, height, and maxheight parameters. For example, the following will make it 400px wide and 200px high (and expand to 600px high as content is entered) -

<cms:editable type='nicedit' label='Description' name='my_desc'
    width='400'
    height='200'
    maxheight='600' />

buttons

This parameter can be used to specify which buttons are displayed in the toolbar of the editor.

<cms:editable type='nicedit' label='Description' name='my_desc'

Following are the values that can be used:
