[dissent-tech] new WYSIWYG editor on dissent site

[Space Bunny]

I have enabled a new WYSIWYG editor on dissent web site. HTMLArea3

Just go to add a new page in admin interface and it loads to give lots 
of buttons above the form that give it look of word processor.

It works in Mozilla as well as MSIE. It blows me away with options.

The drop down menu of css styles is great, if we add some to stylesheet.

Hovering mouse over button gives more detail about what it does.

one can choose link doc from dropdown listing of files in docmanager 
when creating link as well as entering raw.
I have yet to test fully.

But 'enlarge editor' seems to reset text so only use on new entry.

The clean up msword html output does not seem to do much, leaving lost 
of redundant mso classes in. Maybe it only works on stuff when just 
pasted in with all intact, or just cleans up a little bit.

One can toggle to just edit raw html, or you could just turn off 
javascript which you may want to do on low spec pc, to  prevent loading.

Any problems with please report here.

I note there are still several 'unpublished' texts in past mobilisations 
section only viewable by editors. Is that how they are meant to be. Till 
more/all added?

I enabled the weather module (bottom right) as a bit of  gimmick which 
is taking data  from Luchers Air force base in fife as closest I could 
find from all the weather stations. In fact this is where the US 
president may come in.

cheers,
