Introduction¶
There are currently a small set of nice features that can be plugged into the dijit.Editor that are contained within this package. Please refer to the following list for additional details:
dojox.editor.plugins.TablePlugins – EXPERIMENTAL
A set of plugins for manipulating tables within the editor. They do not work on all dojo supported browsers.
dojox.editor.plugins.PrettyPrint – STABLE

dojox.editor.plugins.PageBreak – STABLE
A plugin + associated button icon and keybind for inserting page-break styled <hr> tags into the editor document so that upon printing, the document will page break at the desired points.

dojox.editor.plugins.ShowBlockNodes – STABLE
A plugin + associated button icon and keybind for helping see the current document ‘structure’ by applying styles to the block elements in the document to make the layout visible.

Only the content underneath the body tag is serialized when dijit.Editor.get(“value”) is called.
