RE: [xwiki-users] More on editing

Actually, I stopped using the wiki edit features for coding new wiki scripts/pages.. Lately I've been using Eclipse with the VM plug-in, and have found it to be a fairly good editor: even highlighting mistakes fairly well. You can even have syntax-highlighting and code completion (to a lesser capability) works with both velocity and html tags. As to users editing documents.. This is one area perhaps that would benefit from a bit more visibility certainly, though I have a funny feeling that adding line numbers will be easier than searching.. -----Original Message----- From: THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI) [mailto:bt0008@att.com] Sent: 24 October 2006 17:11 To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] More on editing Another feature for editing which is sorely missed even by users of non-WYSIWYG editors is the ability to search the text of a textarea. When an XWiki document gets long, it's really painful when testing out subtle changes or scripting which requires me to keep previewing while editing, and going back to the edit screen which has now reset the field to the top. At the least, the ability to put line numbering in would be useful. I'm planning to put up a bookmarklet to do that, except that it may interfere with any onchange-triggerred scripting. brain[sic]
