Public Sticky notes

Do not break undo

Browsers that support Rich Text editing hook editing into the undo stack. This means that hitting ctrl-z should work. The Dojo Editor takes great pains to avoid doing things that break this behavior. Users trust an editor (and the applications that use it) more if minor mistakes do not incur disproportionate costs.

Provide WYSIWYG, not source editing

Users like WYSIWYG because they care about how something looks and not the quality of HTML produced. The Dojo Editor provides What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) and not What You See Has A Semantic Meaning Which May Or May Not Be What You Get (WYSHASMWMOMNBWYG). Therefore, filtering and reworking HTML to meet markup cleanliness is done via hooks at save time, not invasive and slow DOM manipulation at runtime.
