I am building a Drupal 7 boostrap subtheme. I don't want users to be able to add their own fonts and styles to content. I want to force them to use the paragraph and heading tags as defined in my site's CSS.

When users paste in from other sources (eg word) I do not want the styles brought in. Additionally, our site uses Open Sans. This is not appearing in the TinyMCE font list, can this be fixed?

How does one do this with TinyMCE?

  • Add style to the tags of the text that TinyMCE generates it

I had the same issue with CKEditor. the h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,p tags and color picker were available to the user But we wanted every available tag to has a custom color. To do so I put the CKEditor output which was body inside a DIV with some ID,say node-body-wrapper, then added styles like this

#node-body-wrapper h1{
     color : red !important;
} 

...

In this way I solved the problem. I recommend you to do the same.

  • I do not like this answer. It seems an abuse of the !important flag and not optimal CSS. Why can TinyMCE simple be toold NOT to add inline font and font-size styles?

  • You can eliminate !important and it still works. I usually look for the most straightforward solutions.

  • Ok but then my markup is still littered with completely redundant inline styles.

  • It is not inline style, inline styles are on html tags!!! Besides that inline styles are not redundant, they have more priority than other styles.

  • TinyMCE places style tags in-line, directly on the html output. That is what I am trying to avoid. It is filling my page's html with pointless style tags.
