[opencms-dev] Cleaning paste from word document - Re-configure jTidy

[M Butcher]

Olli,

I wasn't that impressed with htmlArea's spell checker -- it requires 
some perl CGIs on the server. However, I have been happy with the 
quality of HTML that htmlArea puts out -- except that it often uses 
<br/><br/> instead of <p></p> on Mozilla (haven't tested IE on that bug, 
specifically).

The code was a little tought to navigate, but it would be possible to 
make significant modification to the way it works.

And, I think it should work fine with jTidy since the latter runs on the 
server, not the client.

Anyway... I hope you found it helpful.

Matt
