Re: [Xsltforms-support] Is there any way to put markup in atextarea in XSLTForms

[Dan M. <dan...@gm...>]

I have stated to put together a database of the current options for an
XForms Rich Text Editor extension to XSLTForms based on based on the
CKEditor.

You can see a report of this here:

http://demo.syntactica.com/exist/rest/db/syntactica/apps/rich-text-editor/views/list-items.xq

There are about about 114 options not including the edit controls.

We will be working with our customers to prioritize these but I think to get
started just the basics will be OK.
