Configuration

Tinymax is the managing module for the MDLite's text area editor. Its modularity, flexibility and expandability make of it a top performance module. From this section you can configure the text areas managed by the editor and the settings for TinyMCE (all the command buttons like "copy", "paste", "insert an image" and so on).

It is strongly suggested not to go deeply in the settings if you don't have a good programming knowledge of MDLite: an error here would cost you a lot of work!
