[Indic-computing-devel] contentmanager.de in English

[sunil <su...@in...>]

Content Manager.de has created a multilingual WYSIWYG HTML editor. This is a 
replacement for the <IFRAME> object in the MSIE world. Critical for applications such 
as 'content management' and 'document flow messaging'

Here are the features that I am most interested in....an extract from
http://www.realobjects.de/english/editonpro_product_e.htm

...extract starts...
Comfortable WYSIWYG editing edit-on Pro enables word-processor like WYSIWYG 
online editing through the most common OS/Browser combinations. The editor features a 
great variety of function including: cut/paste/insert, HTML <H1> to <H6>, 
bullet/ordered/alphabet lists, HTML export/import, insert/overwrite mode, 
hyperlinks/images, insert URL/HTML strings, spell check, etc. In addition, the editor 
provides an enhanced copy/paste functionality for plain text and HTML through a toolbar 
button. Tooltips ease the use of editor, especially when many toolbar icons are activated.

HTML <TABLE> support edit-on Pro provides flexible editing capabilities for HTML 
tables, e.g. part lists, price lists etc. Not only can the user insert tables on the fly, but also 
dynamically modify existing table structures by adding, deleting or formatting table cells, 
rows or columns; including ROWSPAN/COLSPAN and VALIGN. Nested tables and 
complex table structures are not yet supported. Please try our online demos for further 
information on this. Please note, edit-on Pro is not designed as a replacement for a 
WYSIWYG HTML page editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver. The idea of the table 
feature is to provide simple table editing capabilities with WYSIWYG comfort – in Websites 
and Web applications, across platforms, without installation of client-side software.
 
Enhanced XHTML support/compliance This means following. The editor will provide a 
XML well-formed entity, see also http://www.w3.org for exact definitions. Informally, 
what this means is that all tags are balanced, and that all attributes, characters, entity 
references, etc. are formatted according to the XML specification. Document validation 
(i.e. checking the document against a DTD) is not possible yet. The XHTML mode can be 
enabled/disabled using a parameter. 
 
Compact and platform independent edit-on Pro enables rich text editing with WYSIWYG 
comfort from every Java 1.1 capable device/Browser. No installation of client-side 
software (e.g. Swing libraries, plug-ins etc.) is required.
 
Fully customizable The toolbar of edit-on Pro is fully customizable while the overall 
toolbar configuration is XML based. You can enable/disable every single icon, you are 
able to group icons using a separator, change the toolbar order or replace the standard 
icons with your own icons of different size. The look-and-feel of the editor can be 
changed by using various parameters, e.g. you can comfortably change colors or 
enable/disable the “HTML View" of the editor. This flexibility is necessary if e.g. corporate 
design standards (fonts, layout etc.) have to be enforced.
 
 Multi language support Set the UI language by using a parameter at runtime, even on a 
per user basis. Currently edit-on Pro supports 4 UI languages (English, German, French 
and Spanish). Supplementary languages will be added based on demand. The XML based 
localization even allows the modification of the standard UI strings. So, own UI languages 
can be added.
