Change 'Format' label text for styles to: 'Styles'

[richardczeiger]

Currently you add your custom style_formats to the toolbar using styles. However, the output shows that the dropdown has a label 'Formats'. This is confusing if you also have the default 'Format' menu item. Many people use the Format menu for inline semantic elements (bold, italic, super, subscript, etc). Whereas styles are used for custom CSS styles.

Request: Please change the label for the styles dropdown to show as: 'Styles'.
See attached example.

Alternatively, provide a method for allowing a custom label.

Not so sure about that, formats can contain more than just inline styles.

I see something like 'Styles' as being specific to the brand/site I'm using TinyMCE on.
The Format dropdown already has inline styles as well as other items (as you point out) but all of these are generic formatting options. For me Styles are things like custom fonts/colours for bits of text done to match our branding (like 'Highlighted text' which shows white text with our brand's blood red background; or 'Brand Blue' which turns the text into the correct colour for the 'text version' of our logo).

Also, I'm putting myself in my users boots: if they've worked with Word or Google Docs, then Format contains very particular things.

That format menu contains paragraph styles, just like this dropdown does (by default). The text formatting is under a text submenu - as is ours, although we call it inline 😉
