%SHORTDESCRIPTION%

---++ Introduction

This is an integration of the fast and highly functional [[http://tinymce.moxiecode.com][TinyMCE]] WYSIWYG editor. It supports a wide range of browsers such as Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome - see [[http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/TinyMCE3x:Browser_compatiblity][compatibility chart]]. This plugin includes !TinyMCE version 3.5.8.

The integration uses the WysiwygPlugin to translate text to and from a format that !TinyMCE can edit.

This plugin is able to swap out _standard_ text areas and replace them with WYSIWYG editors. This means you get WYSIWYG editors for textareas in forms, as well as for the main text of the topic. It can also co-exist alongside other WYSIWYG editors.

The editor automatically "switches itself off" (i.e. reverts to the old text-only window) when editing topics that contain TWiki content it can't handle, such as complex TWiki variables.

---++ Editor Notes

The editor uses a translator module to convert from TWiki Markup Language (TML) to HTML and back. The translator converts special variables - such as %<nop>VARIABLES% - to plain text, and encloses them within HTML spans using a special style called =WYSIWYG_PROTECTED=. In this way the editor can detect text that is not meant to be HTML formatted. This style is _also_ used to protect special text you enter into the editor from being interpreted when the topic is translated back into TML. If you want to add any special features that are sensitive to formatting, such as =Set= statements, then you should format those regions using 'Protect on save' or 'Protect forever'.

---++ Installation Instructions

__NOTES:__

   * This plugin is pre-installed in TWiki. You should only need to re-install if there is an upgrade to the plugin.
   * It requires the very latest revision of the WysiwygPlugin.
   * When installed, it *replaces* the old "textarea" editor. You may still access the plain text editor with the "Wiki Text" button provided in the toolbar, however this does not necessarily give you the original raw/wiki text version of the topic content. To bypass the TML to HTML conversion process entirely, use the =Raw Edit= link provided by the default TWiki skin at the bottom of the page.

First follow the installation instructions to install the Plugin:

   * For an __automated installation__, run the [[%SCRIPTURL{configure}%][configure]] script and follow "Find More Extensions" in the in the __Extensions__ section.
      * See the [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/BuildContribInstallationSupplement][installation supplement]] on TWiki.org for more information.

   * Or, follow these __manual installation__ steps:
      * Download the ZIP file from the extension home on twiki.org (see below).
      * Unzip ==%TOPIC%.zip== in your twiki installation directory.
      * Set the ownership of the extracted directories and files to the webserver user.
      * Install the dependencies (if any).

   * Plugin __configuration and testing__: 
      * Run the [[%SCRIPTURL{configure}%][configure]] script and enable the plugin in the __Plugins__ section.
      * Configure additional plugin settings in the __Extensions__ section if needed.
      * Test if the installation was successful using the examples provided.


   * *Enable* the WysiwygPlugin in =configure=.
   * *Enable* the !TinyMCEPlugin in =configure=.
   * *Click* on edit of any topic.

---++ Preferences

The default configuration of !TinyMCEPlugin should prove sufficient for most users. The !TinyMCE editor itself is customized through a Javascript object holding a substantial number of initialization parameters. Up to !TinyMCEPlugin version 2011-07-10, a text string making up the Javascript object was held in an ordinary =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT= preferences setting. This setting should be removed and replaced with =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT_TOPIC= (described below).

---+++ TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT_TOPIC

To make configuration easier and less error-prone, configuration is held in a topic section. The name of the topic is set in the =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT_TOPIC= [[%SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiPreferences][preferences setting]], from which the [[VarSTARTSECTION][section]] named =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT= is used. =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT_TOPIC= setting is currently set to =%TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT_TOPIC%=.

For a full explanation and guidance on configuration of available !TinyMCE options, see the [[http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Configuration][Moxicode TinyMCE Wiki]]. 

Below is the default configuration. If it is to be modified, it should be copied (including =%<nop>START/ENDSECTION{}%= macros) to a different topic to avoid customizations being overwritten when !TinyMCEPlugin is upgraded.

---+++ Additional Plugins 

To enable extra plugins, set the =TINYMCEPLUGIN_ADDITIONAL_MCEPLUGINS= variable in your [[%USERSWEB%.TWikiPreferences]]. If the plugin also offers a toolbar button, you will need to add it into the appropriate place in the =TINYMCEPLUGIN_ADDITIONAL_BUTTONS*= variables. 

For example, to make use of the =emotions= and =wordcount= plugins add the following to [[%USERSWEB%.TWikiPreferences]]:

<pre class="tml">

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* Set TINYMCEPLUGIN_ADDITIONAL_MCEPLUGINS = emotions, wordcount
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* Set TINYMCEPLUGIN_ADDITIONAL_BUTTONS2 = emotions

---++ Frequently Asked Questions

The topic [[TinyMCEFrequentlyAskedQuestions]] contains more help with things like: "How do I configure the buttons in my skin?", "How do I disable the WYSIWYG?" etc.

---+++ !WysiwygPlugin Settings

See WysiwygPluginSettings for more information

---++ Upgrading !TinyMCEPlugin older than version 2013-09-12

The =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT= string needs to be built differently, due to the API change affecting the way custom formats are applied in !TinyMCE 3.3.x since 3.2.x

If a customized =TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT= string is in use, it should be re-built based on the content of this documentation. The customizations should be reviewed to determine if they are still necessary.

---++ Known Issues of !TinyMCEPlugin

   * TWiki introduces errant spaces into table cells
   * X11 environments: !TinyMCEPlugin editor copies current topic onto the "Primary Selection"
   * Outdenting list items in Firefox soemtimes does not work correctly
      * Description: The list symbol (number, bullet, etc) sometimes disappears from the item after being outdented. When this happens, it is also not possible to outdent the item another level.
      * Work-around: Position the cursor to the beginning of the line (where the symbol should appear) and press the enter key. The symbol should be restored and another outdent will be possible.
   * After inserting new table at top of document: unable to position cursor above
      * Work-around: Use 'Save and continue' or switch to !WikiText and back to WYSIWYG again to allow WysiwygPlugin to add an empty =&lt;p/&gt;= above the table
   * International characters (example, &Scaron;) are converted to HTML entities (IE. =&amp;Scaron;= or =&amp;#352;=)
      * Ensure you are using the latest version of WysiwygPlugin, check TWiki:Plugins.WysiwygPlugin.
      * Work-around: Try changing the =TINYMCEPLUGIN_ENTITY_ENCODING= setting to =raw=. It's possible this may cause problems on older browsers.
