[Zope] Great html-applet ( commecial ) to be used as a content-editing tool with Zope

 I was talking about "other" applications. Within Edit-on-pro's window you
can cut and paste, that's for sure. Unfortunately, almost every content
provider might need to paste text, and "htmlized" text from any other
source. And that's what Edit-on-Pro can't handle.

In PC you can only paste plain text (from outside), and when you try to
paste html (after a a select and copy procedure from any web page) only the
plain text will get pasted, and only at the edit-on-pro's html view window.
What's worse is that if you've used the copy and paste tools inside EDOP's
wysiwyg window, you won't be able to paste any other text, because its
internal buffer will prevail.

I'm sure Edit-on-pro will have plenty of uses. I just wanted to draw
attention to this downside, provided in PC the IE-javascript existing online
editors, seem to be the way to go.  Have you tried the one pointed at my
last message?  :)

p.d. Yes, I agree. The sky is the limit. ;)
