Visual Block Editing
Editor Pro revolutionizes content editing with its visual block system. HTML and Twig code are preserved as raw embed code blocks that prevent corruption while maintaining syntax highlighted mini editors. Green blocks for shortcodes - each type is instantly recognizable and safely preserved during editing.
This unique approach lets you easily visualize complex shortcut structures without fear of breaking your markup. Just works even if you use custom shortcodes that don't have full Editor-pro integration. Full undo/redo capabilities along with format cleanup ensure your content remains clean and consistent.
Modern Markdown Editor
The editor servers as a fully functional Markdown editor with a clean, distraction-free interface. Write in plain text with real-time formatting as you type. Toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts make it easy to apply styles, insert links and images, create lists, and more. The editor works directly with your markdown files without converting to HTML, ensuring your content remains portable and compatible.
GitHub-Style Alerts
Native support for GitHub-style alert blocks brings modern documentation capabilities to your content. Create note, tip, important, warning, and caution alerts with proper styling and icons. These alerts are rendered beautifully in both the editor and on your published site, making it easy to highlight important information for your readers.
Advanced Table Editing
Creating and editing tables has never been easier. The visual table editor provides intuitive controls for adding/removing rows and columns, merging cells, and setting headers. A context menu allows you to see your changes in real-time. Tables are saved as clean Markdown, ensuring compatibility across your entire Grav ecosystem.
Shortcode Integration
When paired with the shortcode-core plugin, Editor Pro becomes a visual shortcode builder. Insert shortcodes through a searchable interface, configure parameters through dynamic forms, and see live previews of the rendered output. Complex nested shortcodes are fully supported with proper parent-child relationships and visual hierarchy.
Smart Typography
Automatic text transformations make your content more professional without extra effort. Type -> to get →, 1/2 to get ½, or :) to get 😊. Create custom transformations for your specific needs. Smart quotes, em-dashes, and other typographic enhancements happen automatically as you type, with full control over which transformations are active. Create your own too!
Light / Dark Mode
Choose between light and dark editor themes to match your preferences or admin theme. The dark mode reduces eye strain during long editing sessions, while the light mode provides a clean, bright workspace. The editor automatically detects your system preference but can be toggled manually at any time.

Is this a free upgrade from NextGen Editor?
Unfortunately due to a change in the underlying CKEditor license, we were unable to continue the sale and development of NextGen Editor.
Editor Pro is a completely new editor, rebuilt from the ground up using modern opensource web technologies (TipTap/ProseMirror) and does not share any code with NextGen Editor. However, we have made every effort to ensure that Editor Pro is a superior product in every way, and we are confident that you will find it to be a powerful and flexible editor for your Grav sites. As such, it's not possible to upgrade from NextGen Editor to Editor Pro for free.
