Enable or Disable built-in macros

This section covers enabling or disabling the Tiny Editors built-in macros: useful text styling macros.

  1. Using a plain text editor, open customization_path/javascript/tiny/editors/connections/config.js.

    Note: Use a plain text editor to avoid inserting invalid formatting or symbols into config.js. Do not use a rich text editor such as Microsoft Word for editing configuration files.

  2. Locate the property macros, and set the following sub-properties to true to enable and false to disable.
