I updated the jira with this, also we should move this to the Design of RichFaces forums if there is more discussion needed.

If user sets useSeamText=true and doesn't provide his own converter, then rich:editor implicitly creates instance of default SeamText converter and uses it. So the user can provide his own implementation of converter for SeamText or for any other arbitrary markup language.I believe that the editor component should be open to support any number of markup formats. It should be the option of the user as to what is converted. I like the idea of using jsf converters. It could allow people to really generate their own conversion support. However this is not how it is currently designed. atm it uses a simple flag for "useSeamText".

Are you referring to the converter attribute here: "http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/editor.jsf?c=editor&tab=info". It looked like a straight carry over of the tag description from the base.Is there an example of this? We need to make this more obvious and perhaps provide some examples of how to use it.Also- if this is the case then "useSeamText" is really "useConverter" in which case we not need it since we should be able to tell is it is set or not. Do you agree?

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.

Hi Christian,
They are developing a richfaces component that implements tinyMCE (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/) as a JSF component.
The goal is that it also supports seam text conversion on the server side (afaict) which is why they are bringing up questions on proper conversion.
Two places where I have run into the issue below is when creating an outline/draft document that I am not ready to post, but want to save, the other is when I have a section that I do not need introduction text for and would instead like to begin the first sub-section immediately.
+header 1
++header 2
Is this a change to seam text grammar that would be acceptable?

It wasn't done on purpose but I'm quite happy with requiring text between headlines. That's how real texts are written, it's good style.

I have no idea what you guys are doing but if you want to submit reasonable changes to the seam-text.grammar, go ahead._______________________________________________
