    • Rich Text Editor please + Dutch Clubs -Getting sick of 'old garbage'!

    Posted by ClearXS posts: 40 ☆ ☆ ☆

    Dear fellows,

    first of all my excuses; I live in southern-Mexico for almost two years, so because of my cultural heritage, I end up shouting things like "garbage" more frequently.

    I don't understand why most software (not only TikiWiki & WikiMedia) isn't updated to "Rich Text Editor".
    Sometimes programs are just the same as 25 years ago, when people had to addapt to the computer, with a lot of additional work.

    Yahoo and others, have the Rich Text Editor fascility.
    Just copy-paste and all the links (+ hidden links), pictures, everything, is copied, just like the original.
    (or one might program detailed rights, giving specific html rights for specific users/groups)

    For Yahoo Groups, I just paste-copy all the valuable info & that's it.
    Same for some free fora and Blogs. Just copy-paste my article from Yahoo groups to a free Blog with forum aspects.
    All hidden links, pictures, everything is there!

    Yahoo Groups has only a few possibilities, compared to the Dutch:
    http://www.clubs.nl/Question (now paid membership);
    they sold their program to Yahoo and Yahoo made a cheap simple version of it.
    Other programs like TikiWiki, have possibilities to combine everything (forum, Blogs, articles, Wiki's, groups, and so on)
    But when I copy an article, it just becomes garbage!

    Yes; it is able to determine what is a link; it seems to understand that http:// or www. means a link!
    Well; it didn't show-up above... how about http://xyz.xyzQuestion or www.xyz.xyzQuestion ? Yes; there we are!
    How 'intelligent' is that program, some php-fora even don't understand that, while html is ON.
    But the hidden links (a href="http://....")Link-Tekst(/a)even TikiWiki *often* does not recognize.
    Etcetera. Ofcourse I installed full options for html and so on.

    Are there plans for something like "Rich Text Editor"?
    Is it simple, or just that difficult?
    And so on?

    Thanks, Mark

    P.S.: That Dutch Clubs might be a good idea too, shedding a light on.
    Some aspects might be well worth to integrate in TikiWiki??!
    Ofcourse for most the Dutch language is an obstacle; I'm not aware of an English version.

    We'll see!
    I copy-paste a lot of info & reserach a lot of info. So don't have lot's of time to spend on making corrections to the lay-out.

    Sometimes I wonder why basic features like this are not just in Windows XP core??!
    So other programs just collaborate with the standard Windows "Rich Text Editor"
