Rich Text Editor

I'm thoroughly impressed with Kevin Roth's cross-browser rich text editor. If I apply some of our stray link resolution technology to HTML input, it seems to me we could widen PyDS' appeal considerably...

Moving stray link resolution III

Further to Moving stray link resolution II, I think I've successfully moved the StrayLinkTransform and dependencies to the MeshTool. If you'd like to try it out, see the bottom of MeshTool.

Aah, interesting: the refresh button doesn't cause the external rendering to be updated...

Slideshows in PyDS II

Further to Slideshows in PyDS: I've realised that splitting should be [carefully] done as a transform, as then we can touch up links.

Alternative: adjust the JavaScript so that links into display:none sections result in the appropriate slide transition. Tricky.

Moving stray link resolution II

For some reason, I started by moving the substitution transform into the ShortcutTool. That turned out to be pretty easy; StructuredText.Reader now computes its transforms list at run-time; tools register transforms with StructuredText.registerTransform. (Confused? See Steal My Code, which is now quite out of date.)

Next, I'll move StrayLinkTransform and StrayLinkResolver to MeshTool, test it, and publish a diff.
