Re: [Hypercontent-users] Xinha

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	I would caution against trying to switch WYSIWYG editors in 
HyperContent 1.4; I had to customize HTMLArea fairly extensively so 
that relative links and image paths would work correctly.  You could 
certainly do it, but it will be more of a headache than you might 
think.  We have talked here at Columbia about evaluating our options 
for a new editor for version 2.0, which should not require such 
customizations as HyperContent 2 is more transparent to the browser 
(since it responds like a regular web server).  There's quite a few 
alternatives out there, so I think a competitive evaluation is due.  
Htmlarea,com now sports a list of open source WYSIWYG editors - we 
should definitely put Xinha on the list, and I would certainly 
appreciate your involvement in evaluating some of the alternatives.  
The baseline functionality is pretty common across tools, but features 
like table editing are perhaps more divergent in their implementations. 
  What types of requirements would you have for a new WYSIWYG?

Alex
