  30  
  31      <p>
  32        HTMLArea is a free, customizable online editor.  It works inside your
  33        browser.  It uses a non-standard feature implemented in Internet
  34        Explorer 5.5 or better for Windows and Mozilla 1.3 or better (any
  35        platform), therefore it will only work in one of these browsers.
  36      </p>
  37  
  38      <p>
  39        HTMLArea is copyright <a
  40        href="http://interactivetools.com">InteractiveTools.com</a> and <a
  41        href="http://dynarch.com">Dynarch.com</a> and it is
  42        released under a BSD-style license.  HTMLArea is created and developed
  43        upto version 2.03 by InteractiveTools.com.  Version 3.0 developed by
  44        <a href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">Mihai Bazon</a> for
  45        InteractiveTools.  It contains code sponsored by third-party companies as well.

  78      <h2>Installation</h2>
  79  
  80      <p>
  81        Installation is (or should be) easy.  You need to unpack the ZIP file
  82        in a directory accessible through your webserver.  Supposing you
  83        unpack in your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> and your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> is
  84        <tt>/var/www/html</tt> as in a standard RedHat installation, you need
  85        to acomplish the following steps: (the example is for a Unix-like
  86        operating system)
  87      </p>
  88  
  89      <pre style="margin-left: 2em"
  90  >
  91  cd /var/www/html
  92  unzip /path/to/archive/<% $basename %>.zip
  93  mv <% $basename %> htmlarea
  94  find htmlarea/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
  95  find htmlarea/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
  96  find htmlarea/ -name "*.cgi" -exec chmod 755 {} \;</pre>
  97  
  98      <p>
  99        <strong>Notes.</strong> You may chose to symlink "htmlarea" to "<%
 100        $basename %>", in which case your server needs to be configured to
 101        "<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>".  You need to make sure that *.cgi files are
 102        interpreted as CGI scripts.  If you want to use the SpellChecker
 103        plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I
 104        recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available
 105        from CPAN.  More info in "<a
 106        href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".
 107      </p>
 108  
 109      <p>About how to setup your pages to use the editor, please read the
 110        [outdated yet generally valid] <a
 111          href="reference.html">documentation</a>.</p>

 140  
 141      <p>We have a <a
 142      href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/itools-htmlarea/">project page</a>
 143      at <a href="http://sourceforge.net">SourceForge.net</a>.  There you can
 144      also find out <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=69750">how
 145      to retrieve the code from CVS</a>, or you can <a
 146      href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/itools-htmlarea">browse
 147      the CVS online</a>.  We also have a <a
 148      href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
 149      system</a>, a <a

 151      tracking system</a> and a <a
 152      href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525659&group_id=69750&func=browse">feature
 153      request page</a>.</p>
 154  
 155      <p>We invite you to say everything you want about HTMLArea <a
 156      href="http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=14;">on the
 157      forums</a> at InteractiveTools.com.  There you should also find the
 158      latest news.</p>
 159  
 160      <p>Sometimes I post news about the latest developments on <a
 161      href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">my personal homepage</a>.</p>
 162  
 163      <h2>"It doesn't work, what's wrong?"</h2>
 164  
 165      <p>If it doesn't work, you have several options:</p>
 166  
 167      <ul>
 168  
 169        <li>Post a message to the forum.  Describe your problem in as much
 170        detail as possible.  Include errors you might find in the JavaScript
 171        console (if you are a Mozilla user), or errors displayed by IE (though
 172        they're most of the times useless).</li>
 173  
 174        <li>If you're positive that you discovered a bug in HTMLArea then feel
 175        free to fill a bug report in our bug system.  If you have the time you
 176        should check to see if a similar bug was reported or not; it might be
 177        fixed already in the CVS ;-) If you're positive that a similar bug was
 178        not yet reported, do fill a bug report and please include as much
 179        detail as possible, such as your browser, OS, errors from JavaScript
 180        console, etc.</li>
 181  
 182        <li>If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on the
 183        features request and someone will hopefully take care of it.</li>
 184  
 185      </ul>
 186  
 187      <p>You can <a href="mailto:mihai_bazon@yahoo.com">contact me directly</a>
 188      <em>only</em> if you want to pay me for implementing custom features to
 189      HTMLArea.  If you want to sponsor these features (that is, allow them to
 190      get back into the public HTMLArea distribution) I'll be cheaper. ;-)</p>
