Welcome to django-tinymce4-lite documentation!

django-tinymce4-lite is a reworked fork of django-tinymce4. It provides a TinyMCE 4 editor widget that can be used in Django forms and models.

TinyMCE 4 in Django Admin

TinyMCE 4 editor in Django Admin interface

In this fork all legacy and broken code has been cleaned in order to provide simple but full-featured TinyMCE 4 experience in Django projects.

django-tinymce4-lite can use django-filebrowser or django-filebrowser-no-grappelli as a file manager for TinyMCE 4 to insert images and file links into edited text. If you don’t know which one to choose I’d recommend django-filebrowser-no-grappelli because it does not have extra dependencies and provides a separate entry in Django Admin for managing uploaded files.

The application also includes a spellchecker service for TinyMCE 4 spellchecker plugin.

Compatibility

  • Python: 2.7, 3+
  • Django: 1.8-1.11

Note

I try to keep django-tinymce4-lite up to date with current Python and Django versions, but third-party packages, like filebrowsers, may be incompatible with the latest Python/Django. It’s up to those packages’ authors/maintainers to keep their work in sync with recent developments.
