The default Source Area is a simple plain text field (textarea) to be used to edit the raw source code produced with the editor. It contains the exact same data which is outputted by the editor. Actually, if the user posts the form while in "source editing", the precise contents of the Source Area are posted, even if the current data is not syntactically correct (it assumes that those were the user intentions).

Features

There are some few additional features that are not usually found in textarea fields, but are available in the Source Area:

  • The TAB key produces real tab characters, instead of moving the caret to the next element on the page.
  • Text wrapping is configurable either by configuration file or at runtime (API, toolbar button or context menu).
  • There could be some API interaction with the source data, for managed Find/Replace for example.
