Ok, I'm using Joomla 1.7. I've installed CKEditor, and everything out of the box is working (great editor, by the way!) I'm trying to add styles to the editor, also.

For simplicity sake, let's pretend I have a CSS file named "my.css" and it contains a very simple class:

.keycap {background-color: #EAE9D7;}

In the CKEditor Configuration, we find options for

* "Styles definition file." The tool tip says this should add to the Styles drop-down, and the file should be placed in the folder "plugins/editors/ckeditor/styles" - I placed "my.css" in the specified folder, my keycap style does not appear in the Styles drop-down.

* "CSS files." The tool tip says this will be used in formatting text in the edit area, and the file should be placed in the folder "plugins/editors/ckeditor/css" - I placed "my.css" in the specified folder, my keycap style does not get applied to text in which I've manually edited the source and applied a

<span class="keycap">DownArrow</span>

.
All the documentation to which mkesicki supplied involves editing numerous editor source files. It doesn't make sense to supply options in the editor configuration interface if the real answer is "hunt down all these files, learn the proper syntax, and modify the files."

Has anyone been successful using the seemingly simple configuration options and getting them to work without editing the source files?

In Joomla 1.7 there is an bug with paths to style, template and css files. It will be fixed in future versions.
Thx for notice this.
I will try add some documentation how to use those fields.
Please be patient.

WCAG 2.0 - 3.1.4

I noticed today while editing an article concerning screen readers, there's no button to add abbreviations (the <abbr title="something">tag</abbr>) to selected text. It's an "Accessibility" requirement ( WCAG 2.0 - 3.1.4 ).
