I was thinking that it would be a good option, but if this recent
development is a problem, there are other WYSIWYG editors out there.
There seems to be a large list on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.htmlarea.com/directory/WYSIWYG_Editors/index.html">http://www.htmlarea.com/directory/WYSIWYG_Editors/index.html</a> , but I
have not looked through it
<br>
<br>
I think this would be a good step for the usability of GL for the
general public. I know that most people who are regular non HTML
users can find the static pages editor daunting.
<br>
<br>
I think Mambo uses, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/">http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/</a>

It is too bad about HTML area, the image upload manager plugins let
you edit or crop photos in the browser using GD or netpbm and upload
them right to the server.
<br>
<br>
It was pretty handy,
<br>
<br>
what do people think about including an basic editor, in the core GL
code, or is that a distraction from the core of GL.

an editor or not, seems to me a perfect solution anyway. You could
create a new plugin with your preferred editor built-in, then
uninstall the staticpages plugin and replace with your own. It could
save you a little time, and if you release it on geeklog.net it could
save others time as well.

Subject: [geeklog-devtalk] HTML area for Geeklog
<br>
<br>
What does everyone think about adding HTML AREA wysiwyg <br>
editor to the static pages editor of geeklog.
<br>
<br>
I install it for everyone of the GL sites I install.
<br>
<br>
The new version includes a image browser that lets you load <br>
images straight from the desktop. It really makes editing <br>
static pages easier.
