Hey nomen, we needed to do the same thing for our projects just recently. You can go into the HtmlEditorField.php file in sapphire/forms/ and go down to line 248. This will probably have a commented line that is a style dropdown for the editor. If you uncomment it, that will allow you to add custom styles to select and place their definitions in typography.css . That should get you started.

Thanks jryancard!

It works, but if i put my classes in editor.css instead of typography.css.
I added this in HtmlEditorField.php

	new HtmlEditorField_dropdown("mceSetCSSClass", "styleSelect", array(
				"mceContentBody" => "mceContentBody",
				"red-text" => "red-text",
			)),

In editor.css i put
.red-text{
	color: red;		
	}

In the CMS editor i see the dropdown with red-text. It appears two times, i don´t know why. One of then works perfectly and the other does nothing.
The correct one creates
  <span class="red-text">mytext</span>

It is perfect for me.
But i need also to create <div id="red-text">mytext</div> and i don´t know ho to do it. I try to create in editor.css
#red-text{
	color: red;
	}

But it doesn´t work. Is there a way to do it?

By the way, i read HtmlEditorField_dropdown api info but i think i don´t understand correcty how it works and how to use it. Can somebody explain it?

Thank you in advance.
