Hi Jeff,

The spellchecker plugin requires GNU Aspell and Perl. (I think that FCK
Editor also uses Aspell for its spell checking, but I'm not sure.) I'm
hoping someone will rewrite this plugin using Java (maybe Jazzy?) so
that you will not need Aspell or Perl. I've been meaning to do it, I
just haven't had the time.

With the default toolbars configured by FarCry, it should be the second
button from the right on the lower toolbar. [<>]

There is a CSS plugin, but it needs to implemented in FarCry.

There is a bug in htmlarea.js.
Around line 1610 find:
-Code--------------------------------------
if (this.config.killWordOnPaste)
this._wordClean();
this._doc.execCommand(cmdID, UI, param);
-//End Code--------------------------------
And replace with:
-Code--------------------------------------
this._doc.execCommand(cmdID, UI, param);
if (this.config.killWordOnPaste)
this._wordClean();
-//End Code--------------------------------
Also, depending on the version of Word you may need to modify the
_wordClean method slightly. I changed the if statement around line 935
of htmlarea.js to read:
-Code--------------------------------------
if (D.indexOf('class=Mso') >= 0 || D.indexOf('class="Mso') >= 0 ||
D.indexOf('style="mso') >=0 )
-//End Code--------------------------------
This seems to be working for me.

This is supported by the ContextMenu and TableOperations plugins. The
current version of FarCry does not support HTMLArea plugins, but I've
been able to add support for basic plugins. I haven't had time to send
my modifications to Daemon, but if you are interested let me know and
I'll get them together.

HTMLArea has a few bugs, but overall I'm liking it much better that
soEditor Lite, mainly because I can use it in FireFox.
