+tags: []

+
+The editor API lets you control Moodle text editors. It can be found in `lib/editorlib.php`.
+
+:::important
+
+Normally you do not need to use this API directly because you can include editors as part of a Moodle form, which will automatically set up the editor for you.
+
+:::
+
+## How to set up a text editor
+
+To set up a text editor on an existing HTML text area field:
+
+- Call function `editors_get_preferred_editor()`, which will return an object of the texteditor class.
+- Call function `use_editor()` to enable the editor for the text area.
+
+For example, assuming there is an HTML text area with id `mytextareaid`:
+
+```php
+$editor = editors_get_preferred_editor(FORMAT_HTML);
+$editor->use_editor('mytextareaid');
+```
+
+## Editor options
+
+The use_editor function allows an options array to be supplied.
+
+### General options
+
+- `context`: set to the current context object
+- `enable_filemanagement`: set false to disable the file management plugin
+- `autosave`: set false to disable autosave
+
+### Atto-specific options
+
+- `toolbar`: set to override which icons appear on the toolbar (normally it uses the admin setting - this is for special cases for example if you want a minimal editor in a particular plugin).
+
+The following example will cause atto to show the four buttons indicated.
+
+```php
+$attobuttons = 'style1 = bold, italic' .  PHP_EOL . 'list = unorderedlist, orderedlist';
+$editor->use_editor($id, [
+    'context' => $context,
+    'autosave' => false,
+    'atto:toolbar' => $attobuttons
+], [
+    'return_types' => FILE_EXTERNAL,
+]);
+```
