Re: [EchoPoint] Editor Component

[<Bra...@ca...>]

If you can find a LGPL framework that works on IE and Mozilla (or close too
it with some tweeks) then I would be willing to wrap it in an EchoPoint
component

The trick is to get something that has a "quasi" JavaScript API.  Otherwise
it gets very hard to have a component layer that "magically" produces very
specific JS setup.

I learnt this with the Milonic Menu library that I wrapped whihc doesnt
really have a JS API but rather you create array structures in "just the
right format" so it just works.  This proved a lot harder than I had
thought it would.

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:
http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm
(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?
