<h1>HTMLArea -- the free<br/>customizable online editor</h1>
<p>
HTMLArea is a free, customizable online editor. It works inside your
browser. It uses a non-standard feature implemented in Internet
Explorer 5.5 or better for Windows and Mozilla 1.3 or better (any
platform), therefore it will only work in one of these browsers.
</p>
<p>
HTMLArea is copyright <a
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
href="http://interactivetools.com">InteractiveTools.com</a> and <a
href="http://dynarch.com">Dynarch.com</a> and it is
released under a BSD-style license. HTMLArea is created and developed
upto version 2.03 by InteractiveTools.com. Version 3.0 developed by
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
<a href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">Mihai Bazon</a> for
InteractiveTools. It contains code sponsored by third-party companies as well.
Please see our About Box for details about who sponsored what plugins.
</p>
<h2>Online demos</h2>
<ul>
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
<li><a href="examples/core.html">HTMLArea standard</a> -- contains the core
editor.</li>
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
<li><a href="examples/table-operations.html">HTMLArea + tables</a> --
loads the <tt>TableOperations</tt> plugin which provides some extra
editing features for tables.</li>
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
<li><a href="examples/spell-checker.html">HTMLArea + spell checher</a>
-- loads the <tt>SpellChecker</tt> plugin which provides what its
name says: a spell checker. This one requires additional support on
the server-side.</li>
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
<li><a href="examples/full-page.html">HTMLArea Full HTML Editor</a> --
loads the <tt>FullPage</tt> plugin which allows you to edit a full
HTML page, including &lt;title&gt;, &lt;!DOCTYPE...&gt; and some
other options.</li>
<li><a href="examples/context-menu.html">HTMLArea with Context
Menu</a> -- this plugin provides a nice and useful context menu.</li>
<li><a href="examples/fully-loaded.html">HTMLArea fully loaded</a> --
all of the above. ;-)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>
Installation is (or should be) easy. You need to unpack the ZIP file
in a directory accessible through your webserver. Supposing you
unpack in your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> and your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> is
<tt>/var/www/html</tt> as in a standard RedHat installation, you need
to acomplish the following steps: (the example is for a Unix-like
operating system)
</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 2em"
>
cd /var/www/html
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
unzip /path/to/archive/<% $basename %>.zip
mv <% $basename %> htmlarea
find htmlarea/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find htmlarea/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find htmlarea/ -name "*.cgi" -exec chmod 755 {} \;</pre>
<p>
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
<strong>Notes.</strong> You may chose to symlink "htmlarea" to "<%
$basename %>", in which case your server needs to be configured to
"<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>". You need to make sure that *.cgi files are
interpreted as CGI scripts. If you want to use the SpellChecker
plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I
recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available
from CPAN. More info in "<a
href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".
</p>
<p>About how to setup your pages to use the editor, please read the
[outdated yet generally valid] <a
href="reference.html">documentation</a>.</p>

</ul>
<p>We have a <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/itools-htmlarea/">project page</a>
at <a href="http://sourceforge.net">SourceForge.net</a>. There you can
also find out <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=69750">how
to retrieve the code from CVS</a>, or you can <a
href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/itools-htmlarea">browse
the CVS online</a>. We also have a <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
system</a>, a <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525658&group_id=69750&func=browse">patch
tracking system</a> and a <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525659&group_id=69750&func=browse">feature
request page</a>.</p>
<p>We invite you to say everything you want about HTMLArea <a
href="http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=14;">on the
forums</a> at InteractiveTools.com. There you should also find the
latest news.</p>
<p>Sometimes I post news about the latest developments on <a
2004-01-29 22:27:14 +01:00
href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">my personal homepage</a>.</p>
<h2>"It doesn't work, what's wrong?"</h2>
<p>If it doesn't work, you have several options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Post a message to the forum. Describe your problem in as much
detail as possible. Include errors you might find in the JavaScript
console (if you are a Mozilla user), or errors displayed by IE (though
they're most of the times useless).</li>
<li>If you're positive that you discovered a bug in HTMLArea then feel
free to fill a bug report in our bug system. If you have the time you
should check to see if a similar bug was reported or not; it might be
fixed already in the CVS ;-) If you're positive that a similar bug was
not yet reported, do fill a bug report and please include as much
detail as possible, such as your browser, OS, errors from JavaScript
console, etc.</li>
<li>If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on the
features request and someone will hopefully take care of it.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can <a href="mailto:mishoo@infoiasi.ro">contact me directly</a>
<em>only</em> if you want to pay me for implementing custom features to
HTMLArea. If you want to sponsor these features (that is, allow them to
get back into the public HTMLArea distribution) I'll be cheaper. ;-)</p>
