Dear GS Users and Developers:
I do like GetSimple CMS very much - in fact GetSimple is gradually going to become my favorite CMS.
But there is a rub - the same as in most CMSs: The WYSIWYG editor (in most cases CKEditor) is usually coded to provide absolute font and image sizes (as well as line-heights, margins and so on).
So the first thing I do when I start using a new CMS with built-in CKEditor is to hack CKEditor to use "em" instead of "px" to make it easier to produce responsive content.
But this is messy and not the easiest way to go, as there are usually only certain versions of CKEditor which can be used with certain extensions (most important one: lineheight) and a certain version of the CMS at hand. And this certain version of CKEditor is almost always a version which can't be simply downloaded from the official website. Yes, usually I find a working combination of versions but this is time consuming.
That's why I would like to ask you:
1) Is there built-in API for CKEditor in GetSimple CMS which allows me to easily modify the behavior of CKEditor, for example to show and output em instead of px?
2) What do I have to do to substitute CKEditor with a WYSIWYG editor that is easier to modify like Quill?
3) Do you know of a free offline WYSIWYG HTML editor running on Windows which is programmable in the sense that I can alter the way it outputs HTML?
4) Do you know of a free XML editor running on Windows?
If I succeed in replacing CKEditor - or modifying it in a non-messy way - I would gladly show you my solution so maybe other users of GetSimple CMS might profit as well.
Best regards
Samson
