Froala Editor v5.0.0Major versionJan 15, 2026
Features
  • Code Snippet
    • The Code Snippet plugin adds syntax-highlighted code blocks to your editor. Supports JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, TypeScript, Java, C++, SQL, and JSON. Works across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
    • Inserting Code Snippets
      • Click the “Insert Code Snippet” button in the toolbar to open the code entry modal. Select a programming language from the dropdown and paste or write your code. Syntax highlighting applies automatically.
    • Code Block Rendering
      • Code snippets are rendered in a monospace font within styled <pre> and <code> blocks, ensuring precision and consistency. The plugin intelligently preserves indentation and line breaks, maintaining the exact formatting developers intended. By default, code blocks are read-only, protecting formatting integrity while allowing users to view and reference code.
    • Edit, Remove, and Copy
      • Use the Code Snippet toolbar to edit, remove, or copy code blocks. The “Copy to Clipboard” button copies the code with formatting intact.
    • Developer Control and Customization
      • Provides a comprehensive set of options, methods, and events that give developers programmatic control over the code snippet feature.
      • The plugin configuration options allow developers to customize the code snippet feature according to their needs.
      • Additionally, there are methods for code snippet insertion, updating, and display. These methods enable you to integrate code snippet functionality into your custom workflows and automate code block management.
      • The Code Snippet plugin exposes powerful events that allow you to hook into the code insertion lifecycle. These events enable you to implement custom validation, analytics tracking, and dynamic code processing.
  • Import from MS Word
    • Added the ability to import content from Microsoft Word documents into the editor while preserving formatting, styles, and structure. This feature simplifies the transition for users who draft content in Word, ensuring compatibility and reducing the need for manual adjustments, enhancing productivity and usability across platforms.
    • Allows users to upload Word documents and have all their work instantly available in the editor, exactly as intended.
    • The plugin supports drag-and-drop importing, allowing users to simply drag Word files directly into the editor for instant import.
  • Table Enhancements
    • Smarter Line Break Handling in Table Cells
      • Introduces the retainLineBreaksInCellsOnWrap option, which gives you control over how line breaks are handled when cell content wraps to multiple lines.
      • By default, Froala now retains line breaks within table cells when content wraps (retainLineBreaksInCellsOnWrap: true). This is particularly useful for content creators who intentionally format their cell content with line breaks for readability and structure.
      • If you prefer the behavior where line breaks are removed during wrapping, you can simply disable this feature by setting retainLineBreaksInCellsOnWrap to false. This flexibility ensures Froala adapts to your specific workflow and content requirements.
      • Cleaner Table Styling Defaults
        • Refines how table styling defaults are applied, giving you more control and preventing unnecessary styling overhead.
    • Two table styling configurations have been updated with improved defaults:
      • tableDefaultBorderWidth - Now defaults to an empty string (”) instead of a predefined value.
      • tableDefaultBorderStyle - Now defaults to an empty string (”) instead of a predefined value.
    • By changing these defaults to empty strings, Froala now takes a “blank slate” approach: new tables created without enforcing any specific border styling. This means:
      • More Design Freedom - You have complete control over table appearance from the start.
      • Cleaner HTML - Less unnecessary inline styling declutters your code.
      • Better CSS Integration - Tables integrate seamlessly with your site’s stylesheet without style conflicts.
      • Consistent Branding - Apply your own design system directly through CSS rather than fighting against defaults.
    • Newly created tables now appear with minimal or no visible borders by default. Borders are easy to add. Using the table toolbar, you can quickly apply border styles that match your content needs.
    • If you need the old behavior where borders are suggested by default, you can easily restore it by explicitly setting these configuration options in your Froala initialization.
