+1 for Ace, it is amazing what can be done in a web browser. I wrote a Postgres mode for it which makes it nice to work with Postgres from 4D. I looked into TinyMCE to replace 4D Write. There were some bugs I could not work around that made it rather ugly to do field references nicely. I ended up using Markdown in 4D styled text fields instead. Not as user friendly, seems to work well. It has other advantages in that a consistent style can be enforced across documents. I also came across this today: ProseMirror, A toolkit for building rich-text editors on the web. http://prosemirror.net John DeSoi, Ph.D. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
