Dear team, I can't find an option to choose "quote" ( html element <q> ) in the editor.
If it is not available, is it somehow possible to add a custom format element for this, and/or even create a custom icon?
It is an essential feature for one of our customers.
All best,
Konstantinos

You can create this using a Custom Style - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/tutorials/editor/creating-custom-styles

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I tried this option and it works!
I created a tag "figcaption" and added as Selector "figure".
This way, in the editor I see the info "Write a caption...", where I can enter a caption - great so far!
But when I hide "Styles" in the editor profile, there is no way to edit the created custom style, even after re-enabling "Styles" - it is gone, I cant even delete it.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

A second question:
Can I create something a custom style (or similar), something like <figure><blockquote> (two elements combined I mean)?

All best,
KK

This is not actually necessary, as selecting Figure from the Format list when you have an image selected will automatically create a <figcaption> tag inside the <figure> tag.

Unfortunately not. Custom Styles are currently limited to applying a single tag to a selection.

I see, thank you for pointing out the figure/figcaption connection.

1. But how about the problem with creating a custom style, hiding "Styles" in the editor profile, and custom style is no more editable/deletable?

2. About the custom styles limited to a single tag: could the templated be a solution for creating a <figure><blockquote> combination?

The Styles list is required to apply a style, but depending on the the style properties, you may be able to remove it with the Remove Format button.

Yes, you can create any type of custom HTML to insert into the editor with the Template Manager, which can then be selected from the list on the Template Manager button in the editor toolbar.
