  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.
  46        Please see our About Box for details about who sponsored what plugins.

  77  
  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/HTMLArea-3.0-rc1.zip
  93  mv HTMLArea-3.0-rc1 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 "HTMLArea-3.0-rc1", in which case your server needs to be configured to
 100        "<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>".  You need to make sure that *.cgi files are
 101        interpreted as CGI scripts.  If you want to use the SpellChecker
 102        plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I
 103        recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available
 104        from CPAN.  More info in "<a
 105        href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".
 106      </p>
 107  
 108      <p>About how to setup your pages to use the editor, please read the
 109        [outdated yet generally valid] <a
 110          href="reference.html">documentation</a>.</p>

 139  
 140      <p>We have a <a
 141      href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/itools-htmlarea/">project page</a>
 142      at <a href="http://sourceforge.net">SourceForge.net</a>.  There you can
 143      also find out <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=69750">how
 144      to retrieve the code from CVS</a>, or you can <a
 145      href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/itools-htmlarea">browse
 146      the CVS online</a>.  We also have a <a
 147      href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
 148      system</a>, a <a
 149      href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525658&group_id=69750&func=browse">patch
 150      tracking system</a> and a <a
 151      href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525659&group_id=69750&func=browse">feature
 152      request page</a>.</p>
 153  
 154      <p>We invite you to say everything you want about HTMLArea <a
 155      href="http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=14;">on the
 156      forums</a> at InteractiveTools.com.  There you should also find the
 157      latest news.</p>
 158  
 159      <p>Sometimes I post news about the latest developments on <a
 160      href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">my personal homepage</a>.</p>
 161  
 162      <h2>"It doesn't work, what's wrong?"</h2>
 163  
 164      <p>If it doesn't work, you have several options:</p>
 165  
 166      <ul>
 167  
 168        <li>Post a message to the forum.  Describe your problem in as much
 169        detail as possible.  Include errors you might find in the JavaScript
 170        console (if you are a Mozilla user), or errors displayed by IE (though
 171        they're most of the times useless).</li>
 172  
 173        <li>If you're positive that you discovered a bug in HTMLArea then feel
 174        free to fill a bug report in our bug system.  If you have the time you
 175        should check to see if a similar bug was reported or not; it might be
 176        fixed already in the CVS ;-) If you're positive that a similar bug was
 177        not yet reported, do fill a bug report and please include as much
 178        detail as possible, such as your browser, OS, errors from JavaScript
 179        console, etc.</li>
 180  
 181        <li>If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on the
 182        features request and someone will hopefully take care of it.</li>
 183  
 184      </ul>
 185  
 186      <p>You can <a href="mailto:mishoo@infoiasi.ro">contact me directly</a>
 187      <em>only</em> if you want to pay me for implementing custom features to
 188      HTMLArea.  If you want to sponsor these features (that is, allow them to
 189      get back into the public HTMLArea distribution) I'll be cheaper. ;-)</p>
