ItsAllText isn't working Confluence Source Editor #27

Closed Itsalltext closed 12 years ago

Itsalltext commented 12 years ago

Hello,

first let me thank you for itsalltext which I used several year without problems and success.

But now I have a problem to get itsalltext run with the "Confluence Source Editor" https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor .

As far as I see the textarea is not detected by itsalltext.

I paste the part of the html page here that you could see the textarea tag.

----html code--------

----html code-------- here only the textarea tag that it is readable <textarea id="wysiwygTextarea" name="wysiwygContent" class="hidden tinymce-editor">

I hope that you could help me in that case

regards Itsalltext

Yeah. It's All Text! cannot work with Wysiwyg editors, including TinyMCE. Sorry.

It could be possible if they had explicit support for IAT, but making IAT detect and work around all the various Wysiwyg editors would be an endless task and not very reliable.

Sorry.

How should the support of IAT look like. Please tell me so that I could enter a Bug for the 'Confluence Source Editor'

At the moment, there are two approaches:

I'd be willing to chat with them about improvements to IAT that would make it easier to work with a WYSIWYG editor.

The biggest problem with using IAT on a WYSIWYG text area is that the underlying markup may not be supported by the user's editor. An example is the Wordpress markup. Not many editors support that markup, especially if you have plugins that modify the markup language. This means that a user would have to write raw markup, which may not be practical.

Ciao!
