I run a site where users submit basic news articles. I want to add some formatting features for their submissions.
Is it possible to add custom formatting to text only using CSS?
For example, user can add:
**This should be bold**
And the text appears bold. Or user adds > at the beginning of the paragraph:
> This could be a lengthy paragraph
And the paragraph is aligned to the center.
Is such thing possible to do?
It's not possible using pure CSS.
You have to use Javascript or JQuery or process your custom tags in Server-Side and render them as html and css as you want.
No it is not. You will need javascript or php to replace ** with <b> for example. Otherwise your users would need to put in <b>Hello</b>

I need to modify html coming from external file (server side) before I render it and inject a quote 'component' like this:
This component needs to be injected after 2nd paragraph and I'm planning to use htmlagillity pack. Any examples? Is HtmlNode.InsertAfter() method good choice once I found third paragraph which should be trivial.
Another question is would it be possible to inject sitecore placeholder or even usercontrol that is going to render my quote instead of pure html? I feel it should be but not sure what would be good approach.
Thanks
I can suggest two possible approaches here:
1) Use snippets with some customisation. Snippets allow users to insert pre-defined chunks of HTML into a RTE field. You could have a pre-defined piece of HTML which might have some identifier to indicate it should use custom processing (I would suggest some data-xxx style attribute which would not conflict with any CSS or JavaScript). Then you could create a new renderField pipeline processor which would detect the data-xxx attribute within the content of a rich text field - you would use HtmlAgilityPack for this and then replace that snippet with the contents of your server-side file.
-or-
2) Split your text content into two separate chunks and have two instances of a "HtmlText" rendering within the placeholder, with a rendering for your quote text between them in the same placeholder.
I would advise that having a rule to insert text after the second paragraph would be quite 'brittle' as this would be very reliant on content editors setting the rich text field contents in quite a precise way e.g. to always ensure two or more paragraphs and to always break text with paragraphs - they might decide to use a load of line breaks instead to split their text. That said if you did do this, you would create a new renderField pipeline processor.
I'm trying to do a simple wysiwyg editor and I am trying to edit this page.
I inserted that code into my editor and included the original css file from the website, yet it seems like ckeditor is putting its own tags around the overall content which breaks the original design. Is there a simple way to overcome this?
Thanks
Inline editing is what you want to do there. Simply render the website (component) in your admin panel, using your default, frontend styles and create inline editors for all editable fields. Finally serialize contents of editors.
CKEditor uses CSS from ckeditor/contents.css - you have to add your CSS there.
Your file is visible at http://makehugeprofit.com/editor/ckeditor/contents.css?t=E0LB and as you can see, it doesn't contain much. How did do "included the original css file from the website"? Merge it with contents.css and you'll have greater luck.
The editable area is an iframe and thus not in the same CSS space as your surrounding site.
When I am adjusting content, I click on the source I want the html to be in an uglified state, so it is easier to naivagte, without having to copy and paste the html into HTMLLint, then into Sublime Text (at least once for editing, but definitely in ST2 if I plan on doing several iterations of edits), and then back into the RTF body area.
How do you get it to show the source in an indented view like this:
Maybe also how do you just edit the content in HTML format only? Any Module?
How do you get it to show the source in an indented view
Well, you can't unless it is built into the Rich Text Editor module that you have installed. CK Editor, for example, does indent the HTML nicely.
how do you just edit the content in HTML format only? Any Module?
If you want to edit the content without the Rich Text Editor, you may
disable that particular module admin/config/modules
or make plain text your default by going to admin/config/content/formats and dragging 'Plain Text' to the top of the list.
I am programming some plugins that insert elements like pictures and tables inside the editor. What I need is to see these elements in the editor rendered with their final aspect. I mean, I need to add css classes to the editor and use them to render text in the editor, and I want to do it on the fly, seing those elements rendered in the editor.
Is there any way to do it? Can I see the elementes correctly rendered inside the editor inserting them with a plugin?
Thank you!
Yes you can.
You will have a dropdown list in your editor, where you can select configured CSS styles to be applied in your content.
How to do it you can find in the documentation:

I am wondering if there is a way to use custom css for some specific text on my confluence page (not using embedded HTML).
Sorry this is an old question, but for the sake of people who search for an answer to this question: you can use span or div macros and use the custom css to apply whatever style you want to their contents.
If necessary, you could create custom div and span classes to allow for multiple styles to be applied to selections of text.
EDIT: Here is an example of the wikimarkup you could use to do this
{div:class=customCss|style=float:left; margin-right:50px}
Custom text in a div
{div}
So you can either use the div class and apply a style in the custom css for the confluence space, or you can use an inline style for the div.
You can do this ...
{composition-setup}import.css=/download/attachments/123456789/custom.css
{composition-setup}
That's if you've stored a custom.css file as an attachement. You'd obviously need to replace 123456789 with the actual attachment number.
You can also link CSS on an external site (with an absolute URL), but if you have any automatic URL formatting, that tends to mess it up everytime you change the document.
I use a User Macro that renders the $body in HTML. Then I can put whatever HTML tags I want in the wiki page within the user macro tag.
There could be a way to reach what you want to reach, but there is some information missing (from you). What confluence allows is the following:
If you have admin rights to the confluence wiki space, you could add there a custom style sheet that applies to all wiki pages. Else you could follow the answer of Mus.
Then you should analyse the wiki page in source form. So load a wiki page you want to style, and look at the source of that wiki page in your browser. Depending on your browser, this may be CTRL-U or something similar. Here in chrome, the page menu says View page source.
Try to find the defining selector for your wiki text you want to style in some form. A reasonable hack could be:
Find a wiki style that is not used by others. I have experimented with ~subscript~.
Find the HTML tags that are built by using that style. In my example, it was <sub>subscript</sub>.
Use your custom style sheet to style text of that style.
However, this may change the text where the style is used for its original sense :-(
You can specify custom CSS in your Confluence page via the div and span macros.
In recent Confluence versions (4.0 and later), you can do this as follows:
Type {div} or {span}. On typing the closing brace }, auto-complete will convert the text to a macro.
Left-click on the frame of the macro and select the Edit button
Enter the custom CSS into the Style field and close the dialog
Enter your text into the macro frame. It will then have the style you specified.
