WYSIWYG is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get. The WYSIWYG editor helps users to create content with text and graphics using an interface that allows the user to view something very similar to the end result of the document that is being created.
The portal integrates CKEditor as the default HTML text editor. Of course, it is possible that as an administrator, you can integrate other WYSIWYG editors into the portal. Here, we will first use CKEditor as an example in order to build the contents of our portal.
Note
Liferay has used WYSIWYG everywhere, including web content, blogs, Message Boards, and so on, to make users work easily.
CKEditor provide us with a lot of features, such as the source for HTML and image access from the image portal.
