It's also quite simple to trim down the Xinha toolbar to those elements you want to include. Xinha has some neat features (mostly in the form of of various plugins), but the core editing experience is also a big part of why I like it. And it also has little things like pretty printing your HTML when you go to HTML edit mode (though I believe you need a plugin to get it to do that). That's a "feature" (in that it requires code to make that happen), but it's not something that complicates the editor. Or there is a plugin that makes images maintain their aspect ratio when you resize them. That's rather challenging, because it's the browser that really handles the resizing but the browser does it in a stupid way (totally free form), so you have to work hard to fix that. (Either way you still really need to do server-size processing to do a real resize, but so it goes.) Anyway, I guess my point is just that simple code isn't the same as simple UI. -- Ian Bicking : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://blog.ianbicking.org : Write code, do good : http://topp.openplans.org/careers --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
