Question
Are there any good ways to edit TWiki content? The web edit box is really pretty lame, especially for larger topics. In ZWiki they have a very cool mechanism for allowing you to edit topics using any FTP-enabled editor (Emacs or whatever); it works very well.
How do others here edit?
- TWiki version: 1.16
- Web server: Apache 1.3.22
- Server OS: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
- Web browser: Galeon 1.0.2
- Client OS: Debian GNU/Linux

Answer
Refactored my orginal answer:
There are several possibilities:
Note: You might find some other useful comments about the above two approaches in
UseHtmlEditorOfChoice.
- Cut and paste from TWiki into a better editor and then paste it back (see PeterMasiar's suggestion, below, for making a bigger textarea).

To make editing larger topics easier in edit box, you may want to set you user preferencies, under your name in Main.Users. I just learned today from
AdrianLynch (and stole it
to my settings):
Set EDITBOXWIDTH = 70" style="width: 100% will give you edit box for full browser window.
Anyway,
WikiCulture promotes (IMHO) simple, prefect things as explained in
WabiSabi.
That said, nobody and nothing can prevent you from developing WISYWIG editor plugin, like is
TWikiDrawPlugin for drawing.

One improved editor is the
JavascriptBasedEditor. This is part of the 1Sep2001 and 1Dec2001 releases. On your user page in the Main web, set this variable:
* Set SKIN = iejs
The pertinent file in the TWiki is templates/edit.iejs.tmpl.
