Introduction
Richtext Editor: Fork (RTEF) is an open source, multilingual
and cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. RTEF is based on the designMode() functionality introduced in Internet
Explorer 5, and implemented in Mozilla 1.3+ using the Mozilla
Rich Text Editing API.
It works with, IE5.5+/Mozilla 1.3+/Firefox 0.6.1+/Netscape 7.1+/Safari 1.3+/Opera 9+/Konqueror. All other browsers
will display a standard textarea box instead.
RTEF was originally known as RTE (Revamped), an enhancement release to
Kevin Roth's Cross browser Richtext Editor (a former public domain and
open source project). Upon a realease in 5/2006, Kevin's project was
branded under a Creative Commons License, Thus rendering it closed source
(unless someone paid a nominal fee to Kevin).
It was decided that a fork needed to be created in order to keep RTE
open source and free. By doing so, RTEF has an advantage in that
users can freely make and share enhancements. With that said, enjoy!
