DNN 9: how to change TextEditor standard behaviour?

Question

I'm new in DNN world, I would like to change the texteditor behaviour in order to replace self-defined placeholders (retrieved from DB) with specific text. I would like to modify the standard behaviour in order to apply this feature across the entire portal wherever a texteditor is used.

Is there a way to accomplish the task? Is there a best practice to achieve this kind of feature?

Thanks in advance,

Giorgio

The text editor in DNN is driven by the so called HTML Editor provider, in case of DNN 9 this provides the functionality of CK Editor.

To customize the editor, go to Settings :: Site Settings :: Site Behaviour :: More, and click on "Open HTML Editor Manager".
