HTML Editor

The HTML editor is the rich-text editor integrated into the ADITO platform. It becomes active whenever an entity field is configured with the type HTML and that field is placed in a Generic, Generic Multiple, or TitledList ViewTemplate.

Internally, the HTML editor is powered by CKEditor 5.

This section documents the available features and how to configure them.

Available features​

  • Spell Checker — browser-based and server-assisted spell checking for HTML fields
  • AI Integration — AI-powered text generation, rewriting, and translation
  • Mentions — @-style mention suggestions configured per HTML field

Search and Filter Behavior for HTML Fields​

Most special characters in HTML fields are stored as normal characters, for example ä, ö, ü, or ê, rather than as legacy HTML escape sequences. This matches the behavior of the current HTML editor and allows filters to search those characters directly.

Older or imported HTML content may still contain escape sequences such as ä. If that data should be searchable in the same way as newly edited content, normalize it during migration or import.

The characters &, <, >, and non-breaking space remain stored as HTML entities and are handled automatically by ADITO filtering. Do not decode these four entities manually when migrating existing HTML data.
