[xwiki-dev] tiny_mce and the integration into xwiki

[Christian Gmeiner]

Hi...

i have looked into the source of the wysiwyg editor stuff and i must
say, it is a hack.
At the moment this is the structure:

tiny_mce --> plugins
|
|
wiki_editor --> own plugins (attachments and macros)
|
|
wysiwyg.vm


I think that this is very complex and hard to maintain. Here is my
idea how to do it better.
1) Write a tiny_mce plugin called "xwikiMacro" which allows the user
to add XWiki macros into
his page with the help of tiny_mce
2) Write a post processing plugin, which converts the result from
tiny_mce into xwiki markup
3) change wysiwyg.vm to use directly tiny_mce
4) kick wiki_editor

This allows us to easier update tiny_mce and it is much simpler to
understand whats going on. An other plus is that there is not an other
layer in between, which could break everything.

Please tell me what you think about my idea. ATM i am working on the
marco plugin.

chhers,
Christian
