Re: [seam-dev] Re: Form, Input Elements and SeamText

I'm digging up an old thread here... Would it be possible for the tinyMCE component to output a more standard wiki syntax as well, such as textile (http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/)? As complete as it may be, the Seam formatted text is yet another wiki syntax and the world has so many already. For people using Seam in an existing system/environment, it may be necessary to adapt. We can't support every syntax, but we can pick the most prevalent. Also, when I imagine how this component would work, I figured that all the conversation is handled by the JSF life cycle. When the editor is loaded wiki text is converted to html and displayed in the TinyMCE editor When the form is saved, the html is converted to wiki text and copied back to the model You do stand to lose some control with this approach if the wiki syntax has special hooks. But then again, if someone wants that contorl, I suppose they can just edit the wiki text directly. -Dan On Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 8:07 AM, Jay Balunas <tech4j(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, personal or other work matters can sometimes keep me away from my email.
