WYSIWYG HTML Editor Tutorial Link
There has been some discussion on WYSIWYG HTML editors lately. I found this link to a tutorial on embedding one in a page using IE 4.0+. It's quick and lightweight - might be just the right thing for certain applications. Here it is for Zopista consumption. http://www.insidedhtml.com/tips/contents/ts12/page1.asp P. Johnson

On the cmf and ez lists too .... but I'm not allowed to cross-post.

This just happens to be at the top of a list of 16 (count 'em) TTW WYSIWYG Editor Widgets I compiled the other day drawing on the various threads in the cmf, ez and cms-list http://www.bris.ac.uk/ISC/cms/ttw.html It would be _really_ good if we could get some consensus about which of these horses would be best to back.

Very good list. As far as I searched, there are only two solutions : explorer 5+ custom editor, and java applets. (javascript is too weak for this job afaik) What we really need are browsers that support custom external editors for text areas. In the meantime I'd like to implement a standard editing tool for zope that could be used with any kind of zope document (dtml-method or dtml-doc at least). I'm implementing this as a simple "edit" folder that you place in the root of your zope (or somewhere higher in the hierarchy than the pages you want to edit). Then, you simply need to append "/edit" to the page to be edited. Really like tou can append "/manage". The edit folder should be smart enough to use the appropriate editor (ie -> java -> textarea), and save / edit the right content.
It would be _really_ good if we could get some consensus about which of these horses would be best to back.
My solution is probably too simplistic to be used, but when I'll have somethin working with the ie5+ method, I'll release it. Philippe
