All wysiwyg editors are implementing more or less the same settings to control and adjust an editor's features, look and behaviour. A long-term goal of wysiwyg module is to centralize editor settings for all wysiwyg editors in one module.
Some editor settings differ, because either they do not support a certain configuration option at all or the maintainer was not yet able to implement the functionality (or: duplicate the code from another editor). Please bear in mind that many options are Drupal-specific only and others just alter a Javascript settings array that is generated to initialize an editor.
Let's list all configuration options available in editor modules here to get an idea of what wysiwyg module would need to support. All items are categorized and the categorization may be extended for new/other configuration options that are not yet in the list. Legend:
- Configuration option / feature (TinyMCE, FCKeditor, Whyzziwyg, ...)
editor = Editor already supports this option.
editor = Editor does not yet support this option, but would be capable to support it.
editor = Option cannot be implemented for this editor.
Please try to keep editor names in the same order.
Note: Although an editor (module) may already be listed here, it does not mean, the supplied information is complete or valid. Please contribute and correct this list where possible.
