Classic WYSIWYG Editor

In Release 20D, all customer environments will be migrated from this existing Classic WYSIWIG editor (Cute Editor) to our new editor experience (TinyMCE). If you would like to take advantage of the more secure and robust TinyMCE editor features by migrating before Release 20D, you can submit a service request through My Oracle Support to ask for early migration.

See New WYSIWYG Editor for details.

Some HTML customizations, such as height and width settings, may negatively impact on-screen viewing. Always test and validate any custom HTML code to ensure that it displays as you intended.

If the buttons on your WYSIWYG Editor look different than the ones in this topic, your LearnCenter uses the New WYSIWYG Editor.
