[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Text editor questions

["Yetkin Oezkucur" <yetkin.oezkucur@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to re-implement our previous, swing based text editor using
"Platform text" plugins. I've examined the rcp texteditor sample but I am
stuck at somewhere.

What I need to do is something like a very simple form of the WYSIWYG HTML
editor. I want to present the text:

    Please click <a href="www.test.com">here</a>

as

    Please click here

by making the "here" word a hyperlink. I also want to add the href attribute
("www.test.com") somewhere in the meta attributes of the word "here" similar
to the attributes of the javax.swing.text.Element object in swing.

I will really appreciate if you can send/show me some sample code.

btw: As far as I know, there is no open source WYSIWYG HTML editor (text
editor based) in written for Eclipse (swt/jface), is there?

Thanks in advance,
