Extended plain text editor element
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 9:20 pm
I did try to like the rich text element but it meant to much trouble: I did used it in one website (the last one I made with Freeway Pro) only to find out two years later the styles were actually written inline in the HTML output. I had a large day to delete all styles and replace all rich text elements with plain text ones.
I do like the plain text element, exempt that it does not have a default way to write emphasized text. I could use a 'SPECIAL' tag to create a span but it is not the same. Apart from that I did have some other issues: I usually wrap the element within two 'p' tags, but if I type a list or a table within the text editor it sometime does not give me valid html.
I did some research and found something that would give me (and my customers) a better way to type text. Another javascript based text editor like CKEditor or TimyMCE, but with a better and cleaner output: http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/, but I cannot find a way to implement this in WebYep without editing the program itself. I would love to see something like this 'native' in WebYep (some things in the Plain text element resemble markup elements in Markdown already): is something like this 'in the works' for WebYep 2?
