Re: Beta testers for a syntax highlighting widget

2010-01-04 Thread Bill Freeman
I've downloaded and may try the widget.

But, unless I'm mistaking the example you show on your page:

1. You're not going to pry me away from emacs for editing python,
or css, or html, or javascript.  I'm sure that others have their
favorite editors as well.

2. Even if you could provide the perfect emacs-like experience, I'm
not going to edit code through the web.  I edit files locally, check them
in to mercurial, push them to our server, ssh to the web server and
pull the changes there.  Were you intending to add revision control
check in and authentication?  Even if I'm forced to use someone else's
computer, I can either ssh into the webserver to work securely on the
files, or I demur.

3. So it seems the remaining usage is what TinyMCE, et al, get used
for: Allowing users to create page content.  (I'm sure not going to let
them code views or templates.)  The few of them that want to edit in
html mode could well benefit from syntax highlighting, auto indent, etc.
But they probably want to switch back and forth between code view
and how it looks view, as people to with kupu, TinyMCE, etc., and they
still will want to be able to edit in how it looks mode.  So it seems to
me that what's really called for is an extension to html mode of some
existing editor widget.

Beta testers for a syntax highlighting widget

2010-01-02 Thread aditya
Hi Django users,
I'm working on a widget similar to the popular django-tinyMCE widget.
I'm not a big fan of WYSIWYG editors, I prefer looking at the
code...so I've created django-editarea, which provides live syntax
highlighting plus a bunch of other features like line numbering and
regex find and replace.

Would anyone be interested in testing the widget? I'd like to make
sure the widget
- actually works for everyone :)
- is easy to install
-  doesn't have any gaping flaws or missing features

I've got a project page set up here with a link to download the
widget:
http://www.wefoundland.com/project/Django-EditArea

Any takers?

Aditya
