I'm trying to use RichTextArea to create my own Math Editor using MathML but am having trouble with insertHTML. insertHTML takes as input only a string and there is no functionality to add elements from other namespaces and for the life of me I can't figure out why that is. The ability to add arbitrary elements would be huge. With HTML5 coming along with MathML built in, I would expect that the html inside the IFrame would recognize it when it happens but it doesn't see it now. Is it possible to add a doctype to the iframe to force it to be html5. Then I could just use insertHTML. It just seems that restricting RTEs to simple HTML, with the way that browsers are progressing, is very short sighted.
I realize that GWT needs to be cross-browser and that not all browsers have MathML support, but this goes beyond my issues. There are plenty of other nonHTML technologies which could benefit from wysiwyg editing. All RichTextArea needs is more flexibility in adding more general nodes to the iframe at the selected position and developers would be able to do some pretty amazing things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
