Hi Tim,

Are there any plans to introduce an HTML Editor component for EWB3?

I am interested in knowing this as well.

Pretty sure it is easy to use one of the ones out there in the standard embedding way. I'm sure I did it in EWB2 somehow.

I believe the issue is that it should be a built-in, feature-rich component, and one should not have to go searching for and 'figuring out' oneself.

Hmm, I presume you mean you want a pre-baked integration. You certainly don't want a whole new HTML editor as that would be a massive undertaking. But which one do you integrate with?

I've pasted the code I wrote in EWB2 to test one - CKEditor v4. I had to include their .js files too as part of the project. It is a simple form, a multi-line edit which is taken over by CKEditor, and a browser so I could see the results.

Nothing complicated, and a very powerful HTML editor "for free".

Hi Matthew,

I could be wrong but I believe Tim was considering writing an HTML editor so that EWB3 could be used for creating websites as well as webapps.

Thanks!  I'll check it out.

That's a link to a post where Tim stated he had started to work on this and would release after 2.07 (now EWB 3) was released.

Can we expect this soon???

It's half-done (you can see it in the WebEditor unit that is included with EWB), so you can't really use it yet.
