[EchoPoint] Editor Component

[Thomas H. L. <th...@tr...>]

I was wondering if anyone was working on a WYSIWYG editor component?

I am thinking along the lines of this:
http://www.p42.net/dhtmleditor/demos/demo14.html
(license is payware for commercial projects, free for private)

or this:

(GPL)

See a larger list here: http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/ttw/ttw.html

There are tons of these editors, and I would love to have one available 
for echo, but I'm one of the "fortunate" people with lots of projects 
and little time to do things myself.

I would expect such editor to be very very _very_ usefull for a lot of ppl.

It could either be implemented by embedding one of the existing LGPL/GPL 
javascript editors as a component and then for viewing use a component 
that embeds the HTML that comes out of the editor.

The other way would be to rewrite the output of the editor from HTML to 
a panel/pane (if at all possible). There would be persistance problems 
with the latter approach I would suspect. So it would maybe involve 
writing a data format descriptor that could be saved in a database - 
which again would make it easier to just use the HTML in the first place.

Any other ideas or comments?
