TinyMCE

TinyMCE provides a browser editor with a configurable toolbar and HTML output. It can be loaded from Tiny Cloud or hosted with your app.

What changes if you load TinyMCE from the cloud or host it yourself?

Tiny Cloud requires an API key. Its Free plan lists 1,000 editor loads per month, with charges listed above the allowance. An editor load counts when the editor loads, even if the user does not save a note.

For self-hosted TinyMCE 8, choose the GPLv2-or-later option if you can meet its terms, or obtain an eligible commercial license. A valid configuration is required. Check premium plugin and service terms separately.

What does the app save when someone edits a note?

Your app can get the editor’s HTML and store it, then pass the saved HTML back into the editor to reopen the note. HTML is the markup for the heading, list and links. Save the note under the right record and confirm it only after the app has kept the changes.

If you enable uploads, finish them before treating the note as saved and keep a copy of the referenced files. A note can reopen with all its words and still point to an image that is missing.

When the app displays saved HTML for another reader, check and clean the HTML on your server. The editor’s own cleanup is not the app’s security check.

How can you check that a formatted note will open again?

Sketch a note with a heading, a list and one fictional image. Use no real account, upload or app connection.

  1. Separate note and file
    Draw one record for the note markup and a separate place for the image. Write what the app should do if the upload is unfinished.
  2. Reopen the note
    Draw a fresh editor loading the saved note. Mark the heading, list and image checks separately.
  3. Try a missing file
    Cross out the saved image in the sketch. Decide what message or placeholder someone should see if the text is still available.
