The following proposed solution has not yet been done to my knowledge, but I believe it could be done. Depending on how scriptable your preferred editor is, it should be possible to link it to Trac by writing some script set/plugin that lets you browse Trac within your editor (viewing pages by downloading the Plain Text version over HTTP; ?format=txt does this), and then allowing you to submit edits by automating the form submission. (e.g., in Vim, reading such a file would download it, and writing would cause a submit followed by a reload) Yeah, that would require some effort and programming, but it should be doable if you are so inclined. I've thought about doing such a thing for Vim, but it hasn't been sufficiently high on my priority list to actually get accomplished. For now, I just edit in the browser (I used to use the edit-text-field-in-external-program Firefox extension when I used Firefox). - Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
