[TYPO3-english] Content-position specific styling in htmlArea

Hi

You can't do this afaik - and I say this having lots of use over the 
years of creating my own very very bespoke htmlarea setups for all 
manner of things, and my own very strange layouts for template. There is 
no way that I'm aware of for being able to set htmlarea to behave or use 
a different css file in the BE depending upon the column the editor is 
editing in, or the content type that is being edited.

Sorry to disappoint.
