! 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
! 41: released under a BSD-style license. HTMLArea is created and developed
! 42: upto version 2.03 by InteractiveTools.com. Version 3.0 developed by
! 43: <a href="http://students.infoiasi.ro/~mishoo/">Mihai Bazon</a> for
! 44: InteractiveTools. It contains code sponsored by other companies as
! 45: well.

! 67: <h2>Installation</h2>
! 68:
! 69: <p>
! 70: Installation is (or should be) easy. You need to unpack the ZIP file
! 71: in a directory accessible through your webserver. Supposing you
! 72: unpack in your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> and your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> is
! 73: <tt>/var/www/html</tt> as in a standard RedHat installation, you need
! 74: to acomplish the following steps: (the example is for a Unix-like
! 75: operating system)
! 76: </p>
! 77:
! 78: <pre style="margin-left: 2em"
! 79: >
! 80: cd /var/www/html
! 81: unzip /path/to/archive/HTMLArea-3.0-beta.zip
! 82: mv HTMLArea-3.0-beta htmlarea
! 83: find htmlarea/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
! 84: find htmlarea/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
! 85: find htmlarea/ -name "*.cgi" -exec chmod 755 {} \;</pre>
! 86:
! 87: <p>
! 88: <strong>Notes.</strong> You may chose to symlink "htmlarea" to "HTMLArea-3.0-beta", in which case your server needs to be configured to
! 89: "<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>". You need to make sure that *.cgi files are
! 90: interpreted as CGI scripts. If you want to use the SpellChecker
! 91: plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I
! 92: recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available
! 93: from CPAN. More info in "<a
! 94: href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".
! 95: </p>
! 96:
! 97: <p>About how to setup your pages to use the editor, please read the
! 98: [outdated yet generally valid] <a
! 99: href="reference.html">documentation</a>.</p>

! 129: <p>We have a <a
! 130: href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/itools-htmlarea/">project page</a>
! 131: at <a href="http://sourceforge.net">SourceForge.net</a>. There you can
! 132: also find out <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=69750">how
! 133: to retrieve the code from CVS</a>, or you can <a
! 134: href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/itools-htmlarea">browse
! 135: the CVS online</a>. We also have a <a
! 136: href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
! 137: system</a>, a <a
! 138: href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525658&group_id=69750&func=browse">patch

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