User defined styles are totally the way to go. In our tool (CMS/DMS + other communications-related stuff), we expose both the ability to define entirely custom CSS, and a simple editor for creating classes with basic options (text styling, pretty much). It works really well.
The system uses all that to generate a CSS file for the site, and that files is LINKed into the public side, and used directly by TinyMCE to expose the styles for use while editing. cheers, barneyb On 8/11/05, Matt Robertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/11/05, Claude Schneegans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > >> or that because the Board of Directors wants to > > >>use Comic Sans in 96-pt Muave for their monthly report's page title that > > you > > >>can't accomodate them because only a bad system would allow such a > > thing... > > > > No, my point is that if the "Board of Directors wants to..", you (or they) > > make a class > > meeting this demand available to users, you don't let them with just a > > font > > selector and a color picker. > > > > Which means I have to sell them a system I or someone else has to maintain > for them if they want to invent a new rule, so to speak.
