Re: [xwiki-devs] New WYSIWYG editor and other syntaxes

Hi Vincent, I remember we talked about this when I started to work on the WYSIWYG. Therefor I implemented the new editor having in mind that it should be as much as possible independent of the storing syntax. The diagrams I had attached to XWIKI-2497 show that: * you can define a SyntaxValidator for a specific syntax (like XWikiSyntaxValidator for xwiki/2.0) to disable/enable features in particular contexts. This validator is loaded based on the syntax configuration parameter. See editwysiwygnew.vm for: var Wysiwyg0 = { ... syntax: "$doc.syntaxId", ... }; * each plugin has access to the configuration object and thus can decide based on the syntax parameter what to do. It can expose no features or expose features based on the storing syntax. So you can put the bold feature on the tool bar and the text plugin can associate a different behavior based on the syntax. All this is already implemented. Of course it needs to be improved. But anyone willing to customize the behavior of the editor based on the storing syntax should be able to do it. So for me the question is: are we going to support other syntaxes on the client side (custom WYSIWYG behavior) or just on the server side (parser/renderer)? I guess the answer is: just on the server side for the moment since the new editor is still not ready and it should work perfectly with xwiki/2.0 syntax first. Thanks, Marius Vincent Massol wrote:
