	Maximum size of the ~~forum post text is not limited~~ by ~~database. The maximum text sizes depend on PHP settings related to POST request processing and available memory~~.
			For practical purposes, the limit is the same as that set for the Moodle file uploads to the site in ''Site administration > Security > Site policies > Maximum upload size''. Technically, this is set in the PHP value post_max_size but can also be effected by the max_input_vars setting as well.

	~~It may~~ be ~~that these have been deliberately left out because of accessibility issues or to save space~~. ~~Some of these an administrator can add back via '~~'Site administration>Plugins>Text editors>Atto HTML editor>Atto toolbar settings'' .
	~~Others could~~ be ~~added via a custom~~ plugin ~~if one is developed~~. ~~There~~ is a plugin for [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=atto_morefontcolors adding colours] and also a plugin for adding a [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=atto_hr horizontal rule.] ~~See this [~~https://moodle.org/~~mod~~/~~forum/discuss~~.php?d=~~265176#p1149721 forum post] for more information on text editor sizing.~~		The range of buttons available in Atto can be set by the site administrator. These are set in 'Site administration>Plugins>Text editors>Atto HTML editor>Atto toolbar settings''.
	An administrator can also ~~reenable~~ the TinyMCE Editor ~~via~~ Site Administration>Plugins>Text editors.
			If a feature you need that was available in the previous TinyMCE editor is not available, there may be an Atto editor plugin for that purpose. For instance, there is a plugin for [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=atto_morefontcolors adding colours] and also a plugin for adding a [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=atto_hr horizontal rule.]
