User controls

It may be desirable to prevent users from using some formatting controls, particularly within templates that already incorporate the necessary formatting. The controls button allows you to selectively enable text editor controls.

When the user right-clicks a hidden editable region they will always get a text-only editor, and the input will be HTML encoded. This is to ensure that the user cannot create problems by inadvertently inputting HTML characters.

By default, all controls are disabled. When the user edits an area in the border, the editor control settings will come from the page template. Control settings in section templates will inherit the control settings in the active page template unless they are specifically set to enabled or disabled.

Note: the HTML checkbox is always visible to you as a web designer.
