Customizing Rich Text editor control

Hi! I'm new to Orbeon and XForms in general. I'm using the orbeon download
(latest version 3.8 CE) in Eclipse so that I can experiment with the code.

With the rich-text (HTML) control, I know how to invoke it (textarea with
mediatype="text\html"), but is there an easy way to use the "simple" form
of the editor or otherwise  customize the toolbar? I've looked at the Yahoo
documentation ( http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor ) but don't know how
I could do with from within Orbeon forms.

I'd really like to limit the user to the most basic formatting (bold,
underline, italic, font-size) as the stylesheet that would render the XML
(using FOP) would only support those few elements.

Thanks for any help with this!

i didn't test the following with Orbeon Forms 3.8, but i think it should
 work. There's a way to customize the YUI RTE by putting a custom config
into a JavaScript variable named YUI_RTE_CUSTOM_CONFIG. For example:

var YUI_RTE_CUSTOM_CONFIG = {
    width : '100%',
    autoHeight : true,
    // extracss : $customcss, // to define css rules for rte content
    toolbar : {
        collapse : true,
        buttonType : 'basic',
        buttons : [
            {
                group : 'textstyle',
                label : 'Font Style',
                buttons : [ {
                    type : 'push',
                    label : 'Bold CTRL + SHIFT + B',
                    value : 'bold'
                }, {
                    type : 'push',
                    label : 'Italic CTRL + SHIFT + I',
                    value : 'italic'
                }, {
                    type : 'push',
                    label : 'Underline CTRL + SHIFT + U',
                    value : 'underline'
                } ]
            }, {
                type : 'separator'
            }, {
                group : 'indentlist',
                label : 'Lists',
                buttons : [ {
                    type : 'push',
                    label : 'Create an Unordered List',
                    value : 'insertunorderedlist'
                }, {
                    type : 'push',
                    label : 'Create an Ordered List',
                    value : 'insertorderedlist'
                } ]
            }
        ]
    }
};


If YUI_RTE_CUSTOM_CONFIG is set, it takes precedence over the default
config. Just put the YUI_RTE_CUSTOM_CONFIG definition into a JS file
that's available to your xforms page (for example by linking it in the
HTML head: <xhtml:script type="text/javascript" src="..." />

It works! Thanks very much! Hopefully this applies to all the other
customizations available.
