From what I heard, TinyMCE is very popular a cross-browser (X)HTML
editor, allows customization (AFAIK the EPO uses an enhanced TinyMCE),
and doesn't make as much trouble as Kupu. BTW, I have some code
somewhere which allows to execute build files in modules. We could use
that to download TinyCME when the tinymce module is installed. WDYT?
I also think TinyMCE is quite fine, but please aware of the lincense
Also one might want to consider Xinha
I also heard positive things about Xinha, but there have been some
negative remarks on the markup it produces:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/reviews/display/1449?show=20&page=2
"Looks Nice, Poor Markup: The text editor is rich with useful features
and well laid-out. If it produced valid XHTML markup it would be of real
value."
Supporting XHTML strict is apparently not on their roadmap:
http://xinha.webfactional.com/ticket/137
Would it make sense to consider introducing a non-validating HTML
resource type and rendering these documents using the HTML generator
(JTidy)? But I have to admit that all my hair stands on end at such a
thought :)
OTOH, from my experience the browser plug-in approach (Yulup,
Firedocs) allows to offer a very good user experience and rich feature
set. Here the major question is about the communication interface. I'm
not sure if it is realistic to expect the editor vendors to agree on a
standard interface (like CMIS), though.
I wouldn't rely on CMIS for the moment, but I still very much believe
that Lenya and all other CMS should support something like the
Neutron/Atom/OrWhatever protocol and allow to easily use such editors as
Yulup and Firedocs
BTW, here's the documentation about the protocol Firedocs uses (Atom +
some extensions):
http://firedocs.org/development/docs/remote_editing
The server- and (IIUC) client-side implementation is almost completed.
If nobody objects I could commit the Lenya module in the contribution area.
Another option would be a thighter cooperation between the editor
vendors and the Lenya community. This was quite good when we started
to integrate Kupu, but Guido Wesdorp hasn't been active on the list
for quite some time. The same applies to BXE.
as you point out there is the risk of a "single point of failure"
Yes, from the POV of the Lenya community a standard interface would be
extremely helpful to avoid the dependency on a particular editor. But
AFAIK all past attempts to agree on such a standard have failed. Maybe
it is just not realistic to hope for such an agreement?
