Text layout determines the way your text will be organized in the document. Advanced capabilities in setting text layout is what distinguishes CKEditor from a standard website form text area or a basic editor. Text alignment and indentation, adding horizontal lines and block-level elements all take seconds and one mouse click.

In CKEditor the text layout features are grouped together on the toolbar. Most are simple buttons that turn the layout option on and off when you click them.

Try experimenting with various text layout options available in CKEditor to achieve a unique presentation of your documents. Among the layout features you will find:

  • Text Alignment – this parameter lets you select the alignment of the text from Left, Center, Right, and Justify options.
  • Increase and Decrease Indent – this parameter lets you control the indentation of the text.
  • Block Quote – this option formats the text as a block quote.
  • Div Container – this parameter formats the block of text as a div container that can be formatted with CSS style properties.
  • Horizontal Line – this option inserts a horizontal rule into the text which lets you divide the text into well-defined sections.
