[opencms-dev] Bitflux xml editor

[David Tildesley (DSLWN)]

James,
you might be confusing the issues. The non-free editor you refer to is a
source code editor (glorified text editor) - not a WYSIWYG editor as such.
THe WYSIWYG editor used by opencms is an html editor and is free as it is
microsofts and bundled in IE. 
The advantage of a XML WYSIWYG editor is validation against DTD/XSD and the
ability to apply a XSL stylesheet to give the user a visual experience when
editing XML content.

Wouldn't that be the point of incorporating it?  Since OpenCMS already has a
wysiwyg editor for IE (albeit a non-free one), I think bitflux would be an
obvious choice to give the same capabilities to Mozilla users (assuming it
does what I think it does, since I've only just now downloaded and played
with it ;-).  I doubt bitflux will ever support IE, just as the current
activeX wysiwyg editor used in openCMS will never support Mozilla.  Then
again, one should never say never...
