Important note: CKEditor 5 module was moved into Backdrop core in version
1.27.0. Use of this module is no longer necessary and no further changes will be
made here. If you would like to report a bug or feature request against CKEditor
5 module, file an issue in the main Backdrop CMS core repository at

This module integrates CKEditor 5 with Backdrop CMS, providing a modern rich
text editor. This module is being developed in contrib as a candidate to be
included in a future version of Backdrop core.
Intended to be a full replacement for the existing CKEditor module (which was
based on CKEditor 4), this module provides matching functionality, including:
- Support for Backdrop link and image dialogs (in progress)
- Uploading images through copy/paste.
- Uploading files through the link dialog.
- Drag and drop toolbar configuration.
- Automatic configuration of text format HTML tags based on toolbar.
Requirements
CKEditor 5 does not support Internet Explorer. An up-to-date browser is
required. See
