Further information: Screenshots ----------- [](#screenshots) ### CKEditor in TYPO3 backend: Highlighted line breaks in editor UI [](#ckeditor-in-typo3-backend-highlighted-line-breaks-in-editor-ui) [![CKEditor in TYPO3 backend: Highlighted line breaks in editor UI](Documentation/Images/rte-wbr-editor.png)](Documentation/Images/rte-wbr-editor.png) The `` elements are highlighted with an arrow on a colored background (similar to the soft-hyphen in TYPO3's editor). ### CKEditor in TYPO3 backend: HTML source view [](#ckeditor-in-typo3-backend-html-source-view) [![CKEditor in TYPO3 backend: HTML source view](Documentation/Images/rte-wbr-sourcemode.png)](Documentation/Images/rte-wbr-sourcemode.png) In the source editing mode, `` elements are visible in the HTML. ### Frontend view (small viewport): Applied line breaks [](#frontend-view-small-viewport-applied-line-breaks) [![Applied line breaks in the frontend](Documentation/Images/frontend-wbr.png)](Documentation/Images/frontend-wbr.png) In the frontend, the browser adds line breaks to the text where `` elements are set (but only where necessary). Installation ------------ [](#installation) `composer req sebkln/ckeditor-wordbreak` The extension needs to be installed as any other extension of TYPO3 CMS. Perform the following steps: 1. Load and install the extension 2. **If necessary,** include the static template *"CKEditor plugin: wordbreak"* into your TypoScript template, or load the hidden Site Set `sebkln/ckeditor-wordbreak` as a dependency (see note below about `lib.parseFunc` in TYPO3 v13+) 3. Extend your CKEditor configuration (see below) ### CKEditor configuration [](#ckeditor-configuration) ``` editor: config: # 1. Import the plugin: importModules: - '@sebkln/ckeditor-wordbreak' toolbar: items: # 2. Add the button to your existing list of toolbar items: - WordBreak # 3. Add tag to list of tags that are allowed in the content: processing: allowTags: - wbr ``` ### Using `lib.parseFunc` in TYPO3 v13+ [](#using-libparsefunc-in-typo3-v13) Beginning with TYPO3 v13, the properties `allowTags` and `denyTags` are now [optional](https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/main/en-us/Changelog/13.2/Feature-104220-MakeParseFuncAllowTagsAndDenyTagsOptional.html). This means you **must only** add this extension's TypoScript if you use a custom version of `lib.parseFunc_RTE`that already uses `allowTags` to restrict the HTML tags. Otherwise, all tags except `` would be encoded in the frontend. Please note that this change only applies to TypoScript. `allowTags` is still needed in the CKEditor's YAML configuration for processing. ### Health Score 48 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance84 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity34 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity49 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 88.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
