Hi, @Vincent Thanks for the information!
@Marius I put down a rough design for this here http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/WYSIWYGPluginInterface <http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/WYSIWYGPluginInterface> . It includes some code-snippets of a prototype I got working. There are some comments/inline comments - hope it's handleable. I didn't go to far with the design proposal, because I wanted to come clear with you first, that this is the right way. Also I wanted to discuss the "interface" for the JavaScript plugins. What do you think a plugin should can do? Please let me also know what you think about the naming of the classes, etc. Thanks and regards, Josef vmassol wrote > Hi, > > Just FTR Marius is on holidays till the end of the week… ;) > > Thanks > -Vincent > > On Aug 23, 2013, at 1:24 PM, jhaimerl < > Josef.Haimerl@ > > wrote: > >> Hi Marius, >> >> I'm back on working on this.
