Trouble with RichText Fields

[JoelProminic]

Nadya did some tests editing the Getting Started Documentation documents from Super.Human.Portal, but found that it was too limited for now. Some example problems:

• Extra line breaks
• Trying to remove a line break can delete a line of text
• No support for images
• Some font options are not supported.

We would like to improve this so that the articles can be edited in Super.Human.Portal only.

Most of the problems came from converting the Jodit HTML to RichText and back. We decided to resolve this by saving the plain HTML in the database - this makes the RichText field unusable in the document, but it will improve the behavior of the editor. I created a Moonshine-Domino-CRUD issue for this.

This is working well in my tests in Moonshine-Domino-CRUD so I pushed an early copy of the JAR here. I need to do a production release if we are satisfied with the behavior.

I tested a variety of formatting options, and these are working well:

I am seeing some annoying behavior from Jodit though. The cursor is occasionally jumping to the beginning of the field while I type. This is especially frequent when I have inserted an image. I am tagging @piotrzarzycki21 to check if this problem is on our side, or just normal behavior for Jodit.

We discussed this in today's meeting, and this behavior should be sufficient for a release.

Some remaining issues on my side:

• Add a warning to the generated RichText to indicate that this is not the actual data that will be displayed through the API.
• Release Moonshine-Domino-CRUD and update this project with the official release build of the JAR.

I fixed the RichText warning. I need to release Moonshine-Domino-CRUD and deploy the official build, and then we can close this.

Note that we have remaining issues with pasting icons/CSS, and also an issue with the cursor resetting after pasting an image. We'll create separate issues for these.
