Development talk:Text formats
From MoodleDocs
Some concerns and ideas
On G:
- "use special editor if available" should be yes/by demand/no, with "by demand" mode storing in user preferences where to use editor and where not - the cause is performance problems for some pages (I actually have one Moodle 2.0 page loaded (initialised actually) for 10 minutes cause of many editor instances on it, while I was really need to have 2 of these 30 instaces active), and this was a page for editing real question taked from production site;
- "USED formats have precedence over USER settings, so editing existing texts won't change the format at all" - it would be too bad to have lock down on format after first editing - especially if you have a users with different OS/prefereed browsers creating and maintaining one course; I guess any format could define a range of another formats it could import data from and functions to do so, so some conversions would be possible (maybe after direct approval of the user). Or maybe make import functions pluginable so the people who need them could easily write and contribute them.
