Definition

  • A Through the web (TTW) editor - also called Web-based editor must work in a web browser window and replaces either a textarea or adds it's own editable fragment. In order to make it work your webserver needs to include some JavaScript code in pages served.
  • A simple TTW editor just assists the user to insert tags. A WYSIWYG TTW editor let's the user edit in more or less WYSIWYG mode. Usually, the user also can see and edit the produced code.
  • Usually, a TTW produces a subset of HTML code, but there also exist editors that produce other syntax, e.g. XML applications or Wiki markup.
