Closing Xinha Issues?

[Glen Mazza <gl...@gmail.com>]

Hi, we have four open issues referring to some "Xinha" text editor, with 
none of them more recent than 2008:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ROL%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open%20AND%20text%20~%20xinha 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ROL%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open%20AND%20text%20%7E%20xinha>

I'm not familiar with this editor -- does Roller still use it? 
Otherwise, I'd like to close these issues.

We also have a JIRA from 2003 recommending we incorporate JTidy in our 
HTML edit field:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-191

Again, something else I'm also inclined to close/won't fix.

Having blogged directly in HTML in Roller for several years, I've never 
personally needed an HTML editor, I just type the tags as I go along.  
Incorporating an HTML editor within our HTML edit windows I think would 
cause more headaches than it would solve (more bug reports & enhancement 
requests, browser incompatibilities and a general inability to please 
everyone).  More importantly, I don't think Roller should be 
re-inventing the wheel with respect to HTML editors.  For those who wish 
to use such editors, just have them use whatever favorite HTML editor 
they prefer, then when they're done, just Ctrl-A & Ctrl-C from the HTML 
editing tool to get the text, and then Ctrl-V into the Roller blog entry 
text field and that's it.  That just takes several seconds to do without 
us needing to try to compete with specialized HTML tools already on the 
market.

Regards,
Glen

I upgraded Roller to the newest Xinha around the time that 5.0 came out and
I did some testing. It seemed to work fine and my father uses it on his
blog without problems.

I think those issues can be closed with WON'T FIX and a comment to "try the
new release" and RESOLVED for the upgrade to the latest Xinha version
because we did that in 5.0.
