[Enhancement Request] Additional functionality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While building an application using jwysiwyg, I realized I wanted to be
able to switch between plain text and rich text formatting (similar to the
way Gmail does it) but jwysiwyg is lacking functionality to let me:

1. Determine if a text area already has a wysiwyg editor created.
2. Destroy a wysiwyg editor when the user decides they want plaintext.

I implemented these functions for myself (and a couple of others): please
let me know if there are things I've missed. I've attached a patch (created
using diff -u) for jwysiwyg-0.6 and copied/pasted the patch contents below.

hi fomojola, 

take a look at http://github.com/akzhan/jwysiwyg, there is 0.7 version, it 
doesnt
have that functionality, but you can modify your patch to this version.

HI, I know this is an old thread but please bear with me as im already out of 
options elsewhere.

I have a textarea which can be changed to plain text or html.
I have a problem when converting from HTML to plain text because I want to 
retain the new line characters to plain text but replacing <br> or <div> does 
not solve it. There are other tags that creates a new line and that is my 
biggest problem.

I would really like to know how to get the text from the JWYSIWYG, strip off 
the HTML tags, retain the texts and newlines and show it on plain text.
