WYSIWYG / Browser-based editor

Manila by default enables support for a WYSIWYG browser-based editing tool that is available to users using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or greater on Windows or using Mozilla 1.3b or later on all platforms (this includes Netscape Navigator 7 or later and all versions of Firefox).

The WYSIWYG editor allows you to work on HTML without having to deal with code. It supports text and paragraph formatting, background coloring, lists, and tables, and has multi-level Undo/Re-do.

You can also choose to use the HTML Tags editor which includes a formatting toolbar but displays the HTML tags in the text area or the plain text area if you are more comfortable writing your own HTML by hand.

Steps

1. Click the Prefs link in the Editors Only menu at the top of the page.
2. Click the Editorial link.
3. Scroll down to Editing Tool and choose which editing tool you want to use in the drop down box.
4. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

Notes

The editing tool chosen on the Editorial preferences pages applies to all members of the site.

Anyone not using MSIE 5/6 for Windows or Mozilla 1.3 or greater gets a plain text area to write in (as seen in the Phase I manual).
