Hello All, not a pure Zope question here: I'm investigating solutions to input and manipulate styled text that will end up in a SQL database. It should probably be a simple interface to HTML. The goal is to allow writers to input styles into text (such as putting titles in italic, personal names in bold) without having them do HTML or structured text, nor cut&paste into a visual HTML editor. This SQL data will head one way back onto the web (live zope) and the other way into a print layout program (probably as an XML file). What i would need is <i>, <b>, <u>, <p>, <hn>, maybe <dir> based on tabs, you know, just the basic stuff. Possibilities i can think of: A Java applet that talks to Zope or SQL (like the new(?) hotmail editor). A Flash file that talks to Zope (assuming there is a Flash widget to do such editing) An SQL-aware app on the desktop (made in VBasic or something like that) ...? It actually does not have to be HTML, as long as Zope can deal with it (can go in a SQL blob). Anyone worked or stumbled upon something like this? We may have some resources to do development towards this, so general pointers and ideas are also welcomed. Thanks, Alex.
