[Typo3-dev] RTE(htmlarea) + Frontend news submitter

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Keeping raw HTML in the database as you suggest is of course an option
and if you just do it consistently it should be ok,

The current "hybrid" format which comes out of the transformations
"ts_css" and "ts" is neat when some users might edit content in plain
text.

My favourite scenario for the future is:
- Either a field is or is NOT edited by RTE, regardless of operating
system of the client.
- If a field is RTE enabled, then it stores the raw content, possibly
stripping of unallowed parts.

In PHP5 there will be a great extension called "tidy" which would be
more than perfect for doing fast and secure transformations.

But this is all future right now.

I think it would be great if there was a standard way to use the RTE (or any RTE) in the backend. But is should use the HTML transformations so that the content is compatible with the RTE in the backend. The best would be (as the julle fe_edt extension does) to get everything needed to render the form including the RTE from the TCA tables.
