| ### Introduction Richtext Editor: Fork (RTEF) is an open source, multilingual and cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. RTEF is based on the designMode() functionality introduced in Internet Explorer 5, and implemented in Mozilla 1.3+ using the Mozilla Rich Text Editing API. It works with, IE5.5+/Mozilla 1.3+/Firefox 0.6.1+/Netscape 7.1+/Safari 1.3+/Opera 9+/Konqueror. All other browsers will display a standard textarea box instead. RTEF was originally known as RTE (Revamped), an enhancement release to Kevin Roth's Cross browser Richtext Editor (a former public domain and open source project). Upon a realease in 5/2006, Kevin's project was branded under a Creative Commons License, Thus rendering it closed source (unless someone paid a nominal fee to Kevin). It was decided that a fork needed to be created in order to keep RTE open source and free. By doing so, RTEF has an advantage in that users can freely make and share enhancements. With that said, enjoy! The current version has been released under the MIT License. ### The MIT License Copyright (c) 2006 Timothy Bell Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
