Here&rsquo;s an example of integrating <strong>CKEditor</strong> within a Bootstrap 4 layout.</div>

<h1>Bootstrap 4 Rich Text Editor Integration (with CKEditor)</h1>
<h3>Step 1: Basic Template with CKEditor</h3>
<p>This example shows a simple Bootstrap 4 layout with a CKEditor text area.</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html lang="en"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;
    &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Bootstrap 4 Editor Integration&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;!-- Bootstrap CSS CDN --&gt;
    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    
    &lt;!-- Main Content --&gt;
    &lt;div class="container mt-5"&gt;
        &lt;h1&gt;Bootstrap 4 Text Editor&lt;/h1&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Use the editor below to create rich-text content:&lt;/p&gt;
        
        &lt;!-- Text Editor Section --&gt;
        &lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
            &lt;label for="editor"&gt;Content&lt;/label&gt;
            &lt;textarea id="editor" name="editor" class="form-control" rows="10"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        
        &lt;button class="btn btn-primary"&gt;Save Content&lt;/button&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- CKEditor CDN --&gt;
    &lt;script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.16.0/standard/ckeditor.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script&gt;
        // Initialize CKEditor
        CKEDITOR.replace('editor');
    &lt;/script&gt;

&lt;!-- Bootstrap JS and dependencies --&gt;
    &lt;script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/core@2.9.2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

<h3>Explanation of the Code</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>CKEditor Setup</strong>: We use the CKEditor 4 CDN to load and initialize a rich text editor for the textarea with <code>id="editor"</code>. CKEditor adds a toolbar and allows text formatting options like bold, italic, lists, links, etc.</li>
<li><strong>Bootstrap Styling</strong>: The editor is placed inside a Bootstrap 4 form-group, making it compatible with other Bootstrap-styled elements, and the layout remains responsive.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Customizing CKEditor</h3>
<p>You can further customize the toolbar or functionality by adding extra configurations in the <code>CKEDITOR.replace()</code> function. For instance:</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">javascript</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>CKEDITOR.replace('editor', {
    toolbar: [
        { name: 'basicstyles', items: ['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline'] },
        { name: 'paragraph', items: ['NumberedList', 'BulletedList'] },
        { name: 'insert', items: ['Image', 'Table'] }
    ],
    height: 300
});
