Removes useless buttons and adds the ability to use more advanced features of TinyMCE.
Out of the box, the TinyMCE editor lets people do stupid or unnecessary things. When publishing content with a CMS, all formatting should be semantic and promote highly-readable content as much as possible.
This plugin creates a single row of buttons containing the following:
"Styleselect,"* Bold, Italic, Add/Edit Link, Break Link, Indent, Outdent, Paste as Plain Text,** Remove Styles, Special Characters, Undo, Redo, Help, Distraction Free Mode.
* The Styleselect contains Headings 2-4 and Blockquote as well as Strikethrough, Subscript, Superscript, and Preformatted in an “Other Formats” submenu.
** This plugin pairs deliciously with Paste as Plain Text.

Filters
The plugin hooks early to the standard mce_buttons, mce_buttons_2, and tiny_mce_before_init filters so that this plugin is easy to override.
This plugin replaces the “formatselect” with the “styleselect” for its added support of custom CSS styles. There is easy-to-use filter for allowing the application of CSS classes in the editor: mrw_mce_text_style. You can find an example of the filter’s usage on GitHub. See also:
