Configuring the WYSIWYG editor

Drupal 8 saw the collaboration between the Drupal development community and the CKEditor development community. Because of this, Drupal now ships with CKEditor out of the box as the default What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor. The new Editor module provides an API to integrate WYSIWYG editors. Although CKEditor is provided out of the box, contributed modules can provide integrations with other WYSIWYG editors.

Text formats control the formatting of content and WYSIWYG editor configuration for content authors. The standard Drupal installation profile provides a fully configured text format with the enabled CKEditor. We will walk through the steps of recreating this text format.

In this recipe, we will create a new text format with a custom CKEditor WYSIWYG configuration.
