[xwiki-devs] WYSIWYG development status
Hi, the new WYSIWYG is still under heavy development, here are some estimations of its features completion : * Standard features : 75%. Implemented : bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, subscript, superscript, unordered list, ordered list, titles (h1,h2,etc), indent, outdent, ruler, special chars. Remaining : alignment, verbatim, quote, definition lists, custom parameters like (% style="color:red" %). Some bugs left too. * Link : 90%. Allow internal/external/email link insertion. Missing options. No automated tests. * Image : 40%. Allow image insertion from any document, image uploading and resizing. Still buggy. Missing options. No automated tests. * Table : 50%. Doesn't work with IE. Missing options. No automated tests. * Macro : 0%. * Import: 0%. In its current state the WYSIWYG 2.0 : - can't be considered as a valid replacement of the WYSIWYG 1.0 (image and table plugins deactivated by default), - was causing IE6 crashes after a few seconds of use, this has been fixed by the last commit from Marius a few minutes ago but has been preventing IE6 testing for a couple of weeks. I'm suggesting to postpone XE 1.7 release by a few days, I'll write another email about this. Note that the UI of all those features (buttons, dialog boxes, etc) is not final since the discussion about their ergonomics is still ongoing. See the "Need roadmap for new WYSIWYG UI needed" email. Thanks, JV.

I will try to commit Marcela's latest patch on the selenium tests (XWIKI-2907) tomorrow, which cover some of the features listed above. Note that at least the ones that are based on text selection will very likely work on Firefox only. We had to write custom code in javascript to select text chunks in the wysiwyg from selenium.

We sure need to test the new editor intensively on both FF2/3 and IE6/7 so we really need your help on this! You can grab the latest snapshot from http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-jet... or the latest release from http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-jett... and give it a try. You just have to login as admin, create a new page, change its syntax to xwiki/2.0 and edit it with the wysiwyg editor. Thanks a lot! Marius
