Special char plugin in CQ's rich text editor

Question

I have modified the CQ’s rich text editor with the special char plugins. But the issue is, this includes the html source editing plugin also. I don’t want to include that in my rich text editor. Is there any way that I can include special chars but not html source editing. Basically i don’t want the html editing option in RTE.

The specialchars feature is made available through the misctools plugin which also contains the sourceedit feature.

In order to activate specific features of the plugin, the features property has to be a String[] with values of the specific feature you require as shown below.

"rtePlugins": {
    "jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
    "misctools": {
        "jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
        "features": ["sourceedit"]
    }
}

In case you the features property is of type String and value is *, then it would include all the features of the plugin. Probably that is why you are getting sourceedit along with specialchars.

Configuring the Rich Text Editor might help you understand more on using the rich text editor in AEM. Also refer the API documentation for the MiscToolsPlugin.
