Editing dtml content for non-techies
i'm wondering if anyone knows of a dtml editing tool (or soemthing) that would allow for the editing of content within a dtml page on zope by a non-techie? we have a zope site for a client who wants to give the editing and content updating tasks to various members of staff. they don't want to use the management interface as they do not understand html/dtml. what we need is a way they can view just the content (so the dtml tags are present but hidden and not re-written) and edit that. we are planning to allow downloading/uploading of files useing webdav. any ideas or suggestions would be fantastic! cheers matt ------------ Matt Carey Text Matters 37 Upper Redlands Road, Information design: Reading RG1 5JE, UK We help explain things using phone +44 (0)118 986 8313 .language fax +44 (0)118 931 3743 .design email matt@textmatters.com .systems web http://www.textmatters.com .process

It becomes difficult, when your authors need special typographie: making things bold, italic, emphazise, list, table, ... Then, they need some way to express what they want and that makes it difficult.
You have lots of options: * ZWiki: here HTML is replaced by structured text You use indentation and simply typographie to control the layout * currently, there are several threads about "in-place" editing. search the mailing list archives * there are a number of WYSIWYG HTML editors. Search the mailing list archives for details. We will probably go the third way. It provides an authoring environment similar to MS Word and hides HTML. Dieter
