What is @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support?
@ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support is a plugin for CKEditor 5 that allows you to work with raw HTML content. It provides the ability to handle custom HTML elements and attributes, making it easier to integrate CKEditor 5 into applications that require advanced HTML support.
What are @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support's main functionalities?
Enabling HTML Support
This code demonstrates how to enable the HTML support plugin in CKEditor 5. By adding `HtmlSupport` to the `extraPlugins` array, you can start working with raw HTML content within the editor.
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { extraPlugins: [HtmlSupport] })
Allowing Custom Elements
This code shows how to configure the editor to allow custom HTML elements, attributes, classes, and styles. In this example, the `div` element is allowed with all its attributes, classes, and styles.
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { htmlSupport: { allow: [{ name: 'div', attributes: true, classes: true, styles: true }] } })
Disallowing Specific Elements
This code demonstrates how to disallow specific HTML elements. In this example, the `script` element is disallowed, preventing users from adding script tags to the content.
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { htmlSupport: { disallow: [{ name: 'script' }] } })

draft-js
Draft.js is a JavaScript rich text editor framework, built for React. It allows for extensive customization and supports raw HTML content through its ContentState and RawDraftContentState structures. Compared to @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support, Draft.js offers more flexibility for React applications but requires more setup and configuration.
quill
Quill is a modern WYSIWYG editor built for compatibility and extensibility. It supports custom HTML elements and attributes through its Delta format and Parchment library. Quill is easier to set up compared to @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support but may not offer the same level of integration with CKEditor 5's advanced features.
tinymce
TinyMCE is a popular rich text editor that provides extensive HTML support, including custom elements and attributes. It offers a wide range of plugins and configuration options. TinyMCE is comparable to @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support in terms of functionality but may have a steeper learning curve for new users.
43.1.0 (September 5, 2024)
We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v43.1.0.
Release highlights
This release includes important bug fixes and enhancements for the editor:
-
Block merge fields: In contrast to regular, inline merge fields, the block merge fields are designed to represent complex, block-level structures, such as a dynamically generated table, a row of products, or a personalized call-to-action segment. Block merge fields are supposed to be replaced by arbitrary HTML data when the document template is post-processed or exported to a PDF or Word file.
-
Nested dropdown menus: this release introduces a new UI component: nested dropdown menus. They can be used by feature developers to easily provide an advanced user interface where UI elements are organized into a nested menu structure.
-
Customizable accessible label: You can now configure the label for the accessible editable area through the editor settings, ensuring it fits your system’s needs.
-
Improved table and cell border controls: It is now easier to manage both table and cell borders. The table user interface now clearly indicates the default border settings, allowing you to set “no borders” (None
) for tables and cells without any additional configuration.
⚠️ In some cases this update may lead to data changes in the tables’ HTML markup when the editor loads them. However, visually nothing will change, and the experience will be the same.
