What is Kupu?
Kupu is an open source client-side editor for Firefox, Netscape and Internet Explorer. Inspired by Maik Jablonski's Epoz editor, it was written by Paul Everitt, Guido Wesdorp and Philipp von Weitershausen to improve the JavaScript code and architecture, standards support, support for webservers other than Zope (which was the original target platform for Epoz), customization, and other issues.
Kupu's features:
- Kupu is easy to integrate into a variety of CMS.
- Kupu can be easily customized and extended.
- High-tech and up-to-date Kupu uses CSS in favor of HTML for layout and presentation.
