---++ Description
%STARTSECTION{"summary"}%
The <nop>NatEdit is an wiki editor that helps in learning the TML
Language by providing a GUI. By design, this is not a wysiwyg editor that tries
to generate the correct TML in the background. Instead, the user is still in
charge of writing correct wiki markup but with a bit more of assistance as a
plain browser textarea. Therefor this editor helps to lower the learning curve
but will not get in your way once you are aware of wiki markup. 
%ENDSECTION{"summary"}%

<nop>NatEdit is implemented as a jquery plugin, called =jquery.natedit=,
and thus heavily depends on javascript. Hence browsers without javascript are not supported. 
You will need to install the <nop>JQueryPlugin to use <nop>NatEdit.

Caution:
Unlikely previous versions (pre 2.0), 
theming has been disabled in the current version. So you are "stuck" with one and the
same button layout for now.

---++ Configuration
*PatternSkin:* %BR%
To enable the <nop>NatEditPlugin add the identifier =natedit= to the =SKIN= 
variable in %USERSWEB%.SitePreferences or WebPreferences, e.g.
<pre>
   * <!-- -->Set SKIN = natedit,pattern
</pre>

*NatSkin:* %BR%
No extra configuration steps are needed in case you are using <nop>NatSkin.
<nop>NatEditPlugin is the default editor for <nop>NatSkin, that is the normal
<pre>
   * <!-- -->Set SKIN = nat
</pre>
is sufficient.


<!--
   * Set STUB = %$STUB%
   * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = A Wikiwyg Editor
-->

---++ <nop>JSUnitContrib based Unit tests
There is a small set of browser based unit tests defined in
NatEditPluginJSUnitTests that can be run as a problem diagnosing tool. These
require the installation of <nop>JSUnitContrib, and then can be run
from
*[[%PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JSUnitContrib/testRunner.html?testpage=%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/NatEditPluginJSUnitTests][Run all tests]]*

Testing has been carried out using Safari, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.

---++ Plugin Installation Instructions
You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. Use "Find More Extensions" to get a list of available extensions. Select "Install".

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in =configure=, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See http://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
