Re: [Phpwiki-talk] direct text editing

[Dan F. <dfr...@cs...>]

This is cool.

Related: I assert that the ultimate editing interface you want is 
WYSIWYG with HTML backend (simplified to avoid XSS exploits). The 
WYSIWYG would be friendly to all the people who have trained on Word 
etc. The HTML backend would produce a reasonable grammar (e.g., 
eliminating the problems with bulleting and bolding in current PhpWiki). 
Note also MediaWiki has an incredible number of HTML-like properties on 
things to control graphics. Using actual HTML would be even better. The 
"simplified" HTML (e.g., no onFOO event attributes for a tag) is 
necessary to avoid massive hack attacks.

Then when you double-clicked like this thing, you'd get a Word-like (or 
Netscape authoring tool-like, etc. etc.) editing toolbar.
