WordPress 1.6 to get WYSIWYG editor
Matt just announced on his blog that WordPress 1.6 will be using TinyMCE’s javascript interface for it’s editor (with an option to disable, if you like). I remember seeing a very nice list by Mikhail Esteves and I, in turn, posted a comment on Matt’s quest for What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get editors. Glad to know that this is now being implemented in WordPress’s next version (1.6).
If they ever considered TinyMCE due to my comment, the credit for it should really go to Mikhail, because he listed it first on his blog. Thanks, Mikhail!
One of the very fundamental concepts of making any software usable has been in implementing control interfaces that are known to normal users. With this, you’re going to get a Word like toolbar. Anyone that does not know how to use a Word toolbar, raise your hand, we’ll take you to a special therapy =).
…which is the reason for the scare among anti-software patents activists.
