A popular question we get is how to lock down the editor to always require a title which cannot be styled. The way to do this is by using the inline mode which will give you more flexibility over the TinyMCE UI.
The proper way to lock down content, is to move it outside of TinyMCE. Here we have created separate textareas for the title and description fields giving you as a developer full control to make sure that the title will always come first, cannot be empty and be plain-text.
This particular demo emulates the regular bordered TinyMCE editor. Make sure you try out the other examples showcasing other visual appearances such as context toolbars.
