Standard install profile: text formats changed & CKEditor enabled

Summary

The text formats provided in the Standard installation profile have changed.

• The "Filtered HTML" text format has been split into two:
  1. "Restricted HTML" (for anonymous users, more restrictive than before)
  2. "Basic HTML" (for authenticated users, more permissive than before).
• The WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor) is enabled for the "Basic HTML" format.

Note: this will not impact sites upgrading from Drupal 7! Only new Drupal 8 sites will get the modified text formats and will have CKEditor enabled by default; Drupal core has never modified existing content and never will.

Formats by role

By default, the following roles have access to these text formats. The one listed first will be the default. For Drupal 8, Anonymous and Authenticated users have different default formats; and the default for Authenticated users has CKEditor enabled.
