Kupu is a cross-browser WYWSIWYG editor. It allows the comfortable editing of the body of an HTML document. It's client-side (browser) requirements are one of:

  • Mozilla 1.7 or higher
  • Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher
  • Firefox

Kupu is particularly suited for content migration as well as editing. Content copied from an existing web page is pasted with all formatting intact. This includes structure such as headings and lists, plus links, image references, text styling, and other aspects. Copying text from a word processor with an HTML clipboard - such as MSWord - works exactly the same. Kupu will clean up the content before it is sent to the server.

Change log

  • 1.3
    • Disabled entity escaping since it causes problems with Plone indexing. (this should be fixed properly in Plone's PortalTransform code).
    • Plone:
      • removed the hardwired styles Heading, Subheading and Formatted, added them by default on installation (but if you are upgrading you may have to add them explicitly).
      • Fixed a bug which prevented editing legacy (non-AT) content.
      • Turned linkByUid off by default. Made resolveuid.py do a status 301 (moved permanently) redirection.
      • Fixed linking to folder types which was broken when Plone 2.1 support was added.
    • More i18n work.
    • table classnames now take an optional caption.
    • Style pulldown no longer goes wrong inside tables.
    • Fixed font size issue. Plone documentContent class is now applied to the editor body tag, so scaling and background color are picked up automatically.
  • 1.3rc1
    • Added support for i18n - the Kupu interface can now be displayed in multiple languages (provided language catalogs are available).
    • Lots of changes for Plone 2.1 compatability.
      • Drawers use catalog lookups to avoid loading objects.
      • ResourceRegistry used to load js and css.
      • Sarissa upgraded, and not loaded when ResourceRegistry is present.
      • Drawer layouts tidied up.
      • Drawers i18n enabled.
