Project description
23

    
24
Space for extensions and additional plugins for dijit.Editor.  The project 
25
currently contains the following plugins:
26

    
27
dojox.editor.plugins.TablePlugins:
28
	Status: Experimental.
29
	The Table Plugins provide a mechanism for editing tables withing the
30
	dijit.Editor.  This plugin is experimental and does not work correctly
31
	in all dojo supported browsers.
32

    
33
dojox.editor.plugins.UploadImage:
34
	Status: Experimental.
35
	The UploadImage plugin makes use of the dojox upload widgets to provide
36
	a mechanism to upload images to your server for use in the editor.
37

    
38
dojox.editor.plugins.PrettyPrint:
39
	Status: Supported (stable).
40
	The PrettyPrint plugin provides a mechanism by which the output from
41
	editor.getValue()/editor.attr("value") is nicely formatted.  Optional
42
	format parameters are how many spaces to indent by (default is tab),
43
	the maximum text line length (not including indent), and what 
44
	characters in text strings should be encoded to their &<enc>; 
45
	representation.
46

    
47
dojox.editor.plugins.PageBreak:
48
	Status: Supported (stable).
49
	A simple plugin that allows you to insert 'page breaks' into the doc
50
	being edited.  These page break styles will then cause the document 
51
	to break to another page when printed.
52

    
53
dojox.editor.plugins.ShowBlockNodes:
54
	Status: Supported (stable).
55
	A simple plugin that allows you to toggle on and off a CSS 'view' of
56
	how the page is laid out in terms of the block nodes used for its
57
	formatting.
58

    
59
dojox.editor.plugins.Save:
60
	Status: Supported (beta).
61
	A simple plugin that allows you to POST the content of the editor back
62
	to a URL.
63

    
64
dojox.editor.plugins.Preview:
65
	Status: Supported (beta).
66
	A simple plugin that allows you to display the content of the editor
67
	in a new window and apply a set of styles to it so you can see how
68
	content will look with various styles applied.  It is likely this
69
	plugin will still evolve a bit.
70

    
71
dojox.editor.plugins.ToolbarLineBreak:
72
	Status: Supported (stable).
73
	An extremely simple plugin that allows you to 'linebreak' the dijit toolbar so that really long 
74
	toolbars for editor (lots of plugins enabled), can be broken up into multiple rows.
75

    
76
dojox.editor.plugins.InsertEntity:
77
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
78
	A plugin that enables the ability to insert HTML/XML entity characters
79
	into a page.  These are often called 'symbols'.  The set it provides are the
80
	basic latin (8859) set and a portion of greek symbols common to mathematics.
81
	It has been marked experimental as it is likely this plugin will evolve a bit.
82

    
83
dojox.editor.plugins.NormalizeIndentOutdent:
84
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
85
	A plugin that normalizes the behavior of indent/outdent to use margin styles instead
86
	of <blockquote> tags.  Also fixes indent/outdent of lists to work properly.  This is new
87
	and has been tested, but not extensively.  Therefore it is currently classed as experimental.
88

    
89
dojox.editor.plugins.Breadcrumb:
90
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
91
	A plugin that adds a breadcrumb toolbar to the bottom of the editor.  Useful for seeing
92
	where you aren and what operations you can perform.  This is new and has been tested, but not 
93
	extensively.  Therefore it is currently classed as experimental.
94

    
95
dojox.editor.plugins.FindReplace:
96
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
97
	A plugin that adds a togglable Find/Replace toolbar to the editor.  Useful for searching
98
	and replacing text strings in the editor content.  Only works on FF, IE, and WebKit.  No Opera
99
	support.  This is new and has been tested, but not extensively.  Therefore it is currently 
100
	classed as experimental.
101

    
102
dojox.editor.plugins.CollapsibleToolbar:
103
	Status: Supported (Stable).
104
	A plugin that modified the header node of the editor so that it is 'collapsible'.  Meaning that
105
	it can be closed (reduced), and reopened.  Useful for increasing editor real-estate.
106

    
107
dojox.editor.plugins.Blockquote:
108
	Status: Supported (Stable).
109
	A plugin that puts a button on the toolbar that allows users to select text for a semantic 
110
	'blockquote' tag-wrap action.  It toggles on and off during state changes to determine if
111
	the current section is contained within a blockquote.
112

    
113
dojox.editor.plugins.PasteFromWord:
114
	Status: Beta (unsupported).
115
	A plugin that puts a button that opens a dialog to paste in content from Word and similar
116
	programs like wordpad.  It will then filter out extraneous and bad html from the content
117
	before injecting it into the RTE.   Experimental as the filter list may not be complete yet.
118
	Feedback is welcome and appreciated.  Filters will be updated based on it.
119

    
120
dojox.editor.plugins.InsertAnchor:
121
	Status: Stable (supported).
122
	A plugin that allows anchor points to be inserted into the document being edited.
123
	The anchors are styled in the doc to make them easily visible/editable in the document.
124

    
125
dojox.editor.plugins.TextColor:
126
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
127
	A plugin that makes use of the dojox.widget.ColorPicker widget in lieu of the
128
	dijit.ColorPalette.  
129

    
130
dojox.editor.plugins.NormalizeStyle:
131
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
132
	A plugin that tries to normalize the output from the editor as either CSS styled or semantic (<b>, <i>, etc)
133
	style.
134

    
135
dojox.editor.plugins.StatusBar:
136
	Status: Experimental (unsupported).
