[Koha-devel] Adding Wysiwyg to (HTML) System Preferences

[Martin Renvoize]

Hi David,

Take a look at http://www.avoid.org/codemirror-for-tinymce4/, it may be a
suitable way to implement TinyMCE whilst also allowing code editing with
all the goodness of codemirror.. (and hopefully the codemirror libraries
are already on their way into koha with Jesse's advanced cataloguing stuff).

Just a thought,

Martin
