Don't use BXE or Kupu. Both of them work really badly IMO. As far as I
know, they're the default WYSIWYG editors only because the ones that do
work well (TinyMCE and FCKEditor?) aren't compatible with the license Lenya
uses, which means you have to download and install them yourself.
I use TinyMCE, and that works, on the whole, pretty well. Not perfectly, I
had to tweak a couple of the config files, and some browsers have a few
quirks, but on the whole it's OK, and stuff like adding tables is certainly
easy.
Installation instructions for TinyMCE are here: [

Hello,
I have some serious problems with getting tables inserted into XHTML
documents. I use Lenya 2.0.3 on Debian lenny with the Jetty packages from
Debian squeeze. The platform is amd64. Here are some steps to reproduce
the
problems and the effects I experience:
1. create a new XHTML document in standard layout (not two-column)
2. open the document in BXE
=> A message window with the text "Removed 1 unsupported group nodes"
pops up.
3. delete the two paragraphs (p elements)
4. save the document
5. exit BXE
6. reopen the document in BXE
=> The message window about unsupported group nodes pops up again.
7. place the cursor at the end of the headline
8. create a new table by clicking on the icon in the toolbar above
9. enter a single character in each table field
10. try to save the document
=> An orange window with the headline "Validation Alert" pops up. Its
contents are:
tr(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml) is not allowed at this position
as child of table
tr is not allowed to have children
tr(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml) is not allowed at this position
as child of table
11. press OK
12. exit BXE
13. open the document in Kupu
14. place the cursor at the end of the headline
15. enter 2 in the "rows" and "columns" fields on the right
16. press "Add Table"
=> Each field in the newly created table contains a single space
character or such.
17. replace these spaces by a single character each
18. save the document
=> The contents of the table are now shown in the same style as the
headline (probably because the table was created inside the header).
There are no table borders anymore.
=> The resulting XHTML file (in lenya/pubs/$PUBNAME/content/authoring)
looks weird:
* It contains a reference to a style sheet (with a relative URI).
* It contains two Content-Type specifications.
* It contains a
after the content of each cell except the
upper-left.
The complete XHTML file is attached.
19. exit Kupu
20. open the document in BXE
=> The message window about the removed group nodes pops up.
=> The "Validation Alert" window pops up--with the same contents as
before.
Can anyone tell me how to create clean XHTML documents with tables? I'd
prefer
to use BXE, by the way.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
