If you want to create a new page for developers, you should create it on the Moodle Developer Resource site.

HTML editor 2.0

From MoodleDocs

This page details the specification of the HTML editor in Moodle 2.0.

What we want

Requirements

  • Integration - With Moodle (smileys, different formats, etc.) with a minimum of changes
  • Compatibility - With web browsers (mostly FF, IE, Safari, Opera)
  • Standard - Outputs valid XHTML code
  • Accessibility - Is it 100% keyboard accessible? Is it usable in JAWS? Etc.
  • Configurability - Possibility to make it show different options and buttons according to the user, the context, etc.

Features

Some features that should be evaluated:

  • Handling of Word documents
  • HTML code direct editing
  • Image uploading
  • Mathematical formulas editing
  • Possible to turn it on and off on demand (on the page) without losing (modified) content
  • Right-to-left text input
  • Smileys (has to be possible to use the Moodle list of smileys)
  • Special characters
  • Tables
  • Themeable (possible to make a theme that fits with Moodle's)

Ticket MDL-11113 discusses most issues.

Possibilities and evaluation

As of 16 April 2008, the preference goes to TinyMCE.
