This is how most of the HTMLArea examples create the HTMLArea and this is the method I use to allow for the addition of plug-ins.
If there is interest in this feature I can submit my mods to the list
for review
HTMLArea is a bit of a hack at the moment. (Spike was sick of IE I believe). Having spent a lot more time with HTMLArea now (implmenting it directly rather than through the farcry tag) I think it has a lot of potential.
As you point out there are plenty of plugins for HTMLArea... its trying to work out a better framework to invoke them from. We really need to look a little closer at how we call rich text editors in general. It's one of those things that has history and has evolved a bit beyond its original intention.
The more complicated plugins I'm very interested in getting going are:
- Spelling (but we need to shift the server component to Jazzy or something java based me thinks)
- HTMLTidy (but this is PHP only, and we really should be looking at JTidy instead)
v2.2 is unlikely to see anything beyond a basic HTMLArea implementation -- but I'm very hopeful that v2.3 will have some more interesting HTMLArea features.
