Feed Description: My online notebook with thoughts, comments, links and more.
I just ran across this Open Source Cross Browser Rich Text Editor,
and I'm trying it out now. It only took about 10 minutes to add to my
site... It seems like it works okay in FireFox 0.9 and after I post
this, I'll try it in Internet Explorer. I recently saw some service
with an RTE on the editor and I thought it was pretty damn cool. The
last time I even played with this stuff was way back when we were
messing with EKit.
The thing is, after two years of posting
using HTML, I'm not sure if I want to use an RTE! I mean, it's second
nature to put the <p>'s and other markup into the post. And I can
see that the editor isn't going to support code samples very well, so
I'm torn. I guess I'll have to put a flag on my edit page to use/not
use the RTE, depending on what I'm doing.
And I can see that
even though the resulting markup is definitely not pretty... that'll
make it harder to switch back and forth. And it's not like I ever use
different fonts or headers and stuff.. Hmm.
