The text editor (sometimes referred to as the 'HTML editor') helps users enter and format content. Many of its functions will be familiar to anyone who uses a word processing program.
Default Editor: The default text editor in classes.lanecc.edu is TinyMCE, a modern and robust editor supported in both mobile and desktop versions of Moodle.
Other Options:
- Atto – A legacy editor still available for users requiring its features, though active development has ended (only security updates will continue until Moodle 4.5).
- Plain Text Editor – Provides a raw text experience with no toolbars or formatting options.
You can switch between editors at any time. Note that changes apply site-wide to your personal preferences, not to individual courses.
How to Change Your Default HTML Editor
- In the User Menu (profile photo in top-right), click your name and select Preferences. Your Preferences page will open.
- UnderUser account, click Editor preferences. The Editor preferences page will open.
- From the Text editor drop-down menu:
• To format text with a toolbar, choose TinyMCE HTML Editor (default, and recommended).
• To use the older editor from previous Moodle versions, choose ATTO HTML Editor or choose “text” for text only. - Click Save changes (at bottom of page).
Development of Atto has officially ended.
Moodle will remove it as a core editor in a future release after Moodle 4.5. Only critical security updates will be made until then.
