Question

I have a Django website in which I use django-tinymce to edit HTML fields with a TinyMCE control.

TinyMCE practically gives me a WYSIWYG way to edit HTML. My question is, can I get access to edit the underlying HTML directly? I was thinking, maybe there’s some button I can enbale which will toggle between “WYSIWYG mode” and “raw html mode” in TinyMCE. Is there one? If not, is there any elegant way to edit the HTML?

Answer 1

Simply add the code button to one of the toolbars, e.g. with this configuration for django-tinymce:

TINYMCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
    # your other configuration
    'theme_advanced_buttons3_add': 'code',
}

Here‘s a list of buttons that are available with the advanced TinyMCE theme
