Hello. I want add some custom styles in Online Editor where is Heading 1. Is that possible?
The aim of that is to add a possibility to change color of text. Or is there another way how I can do that?

Yes, you can add new styles for any of the existing tags in the OE. Look at the content.ini for examples. Then add your new options in content.ini.append.php for your siteaccess and admin siteaccess.

Once you do, you can right click on any element for which you have allow custom classes and select "Properties". From there you can set the class.

When you preview and publish the content, it will be published like this: <p class='yourcustomclassname"> (if you added a custom class called 'yourcustomclassname' to the <paragraph> tag in content.ini

If you want the color to show up in the OE, you have to add your class to the editor.css in the ezdhtml extension design folder.

The downside of this is that you cannot apply color to only one part of a tag element (i.e. a few words in the middle of a paragraph) unless you created a custom class for the the bold or italic tag which used css to make it not bold, but a color instead.
