I'm starting to develop a plugin for CKEditor that needs to be used to insert some HTML snippets in a web page. This is done. Nonetheless I also need to include some special items when switching to WYSIWYG mode (e.g. something more or less similar to Show Blocks plugin, but not just using styles since I need some elements included in there). So my question is :
How could I include extra items or styles (e.g. to hide parts of the contents in WYSIWYG mode) in WYSIWYG view without altering HTML output ?
If someone could provide some information about a working (maybe simple) example, I'd also appreciate your help.
PS: If you need to know further details please ask, but for instance assume inserted raw HTML code is
<div class="xxx">Hello world !</div>
... but in WYSIWYG mode need to display a link on top of it that pops up an alert and toggles dotted border.
About injecting CSS classes in WYSIWYG mode, use addCss function.
About creating fake elements in WYSIWYG mode ... I think I can solve the problem using context menu instead.

I am building a simple forum on my website using CKEditor as a BBCode editor. I managed to make CKEditor output BBCode just fine by following the example.
However, I do not want to use the 'WYSIWYG' interface. I just want a plain "bbcode source" editor. The WYSIWYG output is not exactly the same as how the output will look on my forum (because I translate the bbcode to html myself and then apply some additional styling) and I don't really like the difference. More importantly, I have a couple "custom bbcode" tags that make no sense outside of my forum and obviously CKEditor doesn't know what to do with them, so I get a mix of bbcode and WYSIWYG output which looks odd.
I can force the CKEditor into 'source mode' by setting the startupMode and removing the source button, but when I do that it disables the entire toolbar!
I want to work in source mode, but still use the various buttons like B, I, etc. When such a button is pressed I just want it to insert the [b] [/b] tags for example around the selected text.
This is pretty much how every forum I've ever seen works, but I can't figure out how to configure CKEditor to do this.
Unfortunately it's impossible. Most of the plugins require WYSIWYG mode and don't work without it.
However you could try to control the output of the editor and change it according to your needs by adjusting editor's filter or implementing custom data processor.
I have been trying to work out how to get my own website's custom stylesheet to be recognized by CKEditor. The fontsize on my site is 19px, and for CKEditor it's much smaller. I would like the software to recognize my styles. I don't need (at the moment) custom styles added to dropdowns (and I see information in the docs on how to do that). It just seems odd that if my whole site uses a specific font, font size, font color, and so on that the editor doesn't seem to recognize them. This may be basic, and I've just looked past it or misunderstood something, but I can't figure it out. Thanks!
You may want to look at the contents.css (file is inside CKEditor folder), that is the stylesheet used for content inside the CKEditor. You will need to change the contents.css according to your need, in this case you want to change the font styling so it match with your current site.
I am editing an article and adding FontAwesome in it using Toggle Editor. I've found out that when I add the code using programmer view, it works fine. However, when I change to the designer view from the programmer view, the editor automatically edit the code like this:
Before:
After clicking "Toggle Editor":
It is quite inconvenient for me because I use the designer view to style the article frequently. Is there any solution for it?
You'll have to look into the allowed tags for the editor you're using.
In your case using JCK Editor - you can see this article on why it removes certain code
At first glance it appears there are whitelist & blacklists for some HTML. You'll probably be able to add your selectors to the whitelist and they will no longer get stripped.
I am working on an intranet project that is having the majority of its users move up to ie8 soon. A bug was detected where when attempting to create/edit a page, the rich html editor boxes would be squeezed compared to what they look like in any other browser.
I found the offending style, its inline and its:
style="display:inline-block"
Now if it was just "inline" then it would be fine. However, it is not.
I have attempted to override the PrefixStyleSheet attribute in the master page and have a custom style in the main css file, but it is not working at all.
I have heard that a control adapter might be helpful to post process the html but i am unsure on how to use one.
Is there any advice you guys can give me?
From my experience, using JQuery "hacks" in the master page header is the most convenient approach, without messing up the system css or the backend.
Find the element you want to override the style to a custom style, and assign your custom style. Be careful if the override is page layout specific, then might add to the page layout header placeholder instead.

Hope it helps.
I once found a webpage hosted HTML editor that optionally included the tags, as highlighted colour coded elements with the tag type, in the (almost) WYSIWYG view, but now cannot find the project anywhere.
I thought it an excellent compromise between WYSIWYG ease of use an markup flexibility.
Does anyone know which editor this was? Or maybe there is more then one editor with this feature?
Here is one that looks promising.

This appears to match your request.
I found one such, and only one. Unfortunately it isn't the one I had seen before and so I'm still looking. They are called What You See Is What You Mean editors - WYSIWYM.
