 * Opera plans to support either the IE or the Moz API in its upcoming version 8, so pretty much all browsers in use today will be supported (the only not-yet-supported one is khtml).

Opera 7.5 is not even out yet, and Opera 8 is nothing but a concept at the moment. If anyone from Opera indeed did state either API would be supported I would really like to see a quote. Darkelf 00:48, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Alexander Limi, one of the main plone developers is involved with opera (does some of their css stuff etc) and mentioned these plans on #plone at 2004-01-24: (19:37:52) ***limi discovers yet another insanely cool feature in Opera 7.50 :) (19:38:35) limi: sm, well, mostly to avoid two doctype declarations in Plone, as it's decided by main_template and not the individual templates anymore (19:38:41) Shifters: thought the latest was 7.23 ? (19:39:05) limi: there is a Tech Preview out (19:39:11) limi: TP2 coming soon :) (19:39:27) limi: one of my closest friends is the UI designer there (19:39:40) gwicke: all this shameless Opera promotion... (19:39:41) limi: so I normally run the "nightly build" :] (19:39:43) limi: hehe (19:39:44) Tiran: dreamcatcher: ayt? (19:40:01) Tiran: dreamcatcher: could you pls read my four lines above? (19:40:09) limi: gwicke, Superior Norwegian Technology! ;) (19:40:59) gwicke: bah... all those random bugs... (19:41:02) dreamcatcher: Tiran: uh? (19:41:40) gwicke: limi: they don't even support Epoz, do they? (19:42:19) dreamcatcher: Tiran: does that only happens for metadata? (19:43:06) Tiran: dreamcatcher: I'm not shure but I think that the Descrption method is not created (19:44:11) Tiran: dreamcatcher: that's why the description of the parent folder is shown instead of the right description (19:44:29) dreamcatcher: uhm.... doesnt sound like it (19:46:11) Tiran: dreamcatcher: adding this method to ExtensibleMetadata solved it (19:50:00) jmce [jmce@195-23-9-8.nr.ip.pt] entered the room. (19:52:28) limi: gwicke, not yet - the Epoz stuff is two different techs invented by IE and Mozilla developers, so it's not really a standard. I believe they have plans to support it in 2.0, though (19:52:38) limi: uhm, 8.0 (19:53:14) gwicke: limi: following the moz api? (19:53:59) gwicke: hopefully not yet another one... (19:54:14) limi: gwicke, either the Moz or IE APIs

HTML to wikitext converter
There are a few out there, including Magnus Manske's C++ version and David Wheeler's version in C, but I decided to create my own HTML to wikitext converter anyway. It differs from others in that:


 * 1) it's got a web-based interface (http://diberri.dyndns.org/html2wiki.html)
 * 2) it's in object-oriented Perl, as
 * 3) it shouldn't break on considerably broken HTML code (though I don't know the exact threshold for other converters)
 * 4) it has some nice image-handling DWIMmery (read more at the URL above)

When I get a chance, I'll upload the Perl module to CPAN, but for now I figured I'd share the tool with the WP community. Please comment on my talk page. --Diberri | Talk
 * Combining one of these converters with Epoz could be a good start for WYSIWYG editing (See WYSIWYG editor). -- Gabriel Wicke 01:01, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

FWIW, I've uploaded the module to CPAN. It's available at my CPAN author page. --Diberri | Talk 00:38, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
