Example Sharing content styles between front-end and back-end:

To apply ckeditor5 styling outside of the editor, download content.styles.css from the official ckeditor5 docs and include it as a styleshet within your HTML template. You will need to add the ck-content class to the container of your content for the styles to be applied. https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/installation/advanced/content-styles.html#sharing-content-styles-between-frontend-and-backend

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/assets/content-styles.css" type="text/css">
...
<div class="ck-content">
<p>ckeditor content</p>
</div>
