Can't Edit with Emacs in Blogger

Open nispio opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

Blogger provides two methods for editing a post: "Compose" and "HTML". The Compose mode is a rich-text box, which I would not expect to be able to edit with emacs. However, the HTML mode uses plain text only, so I was hoping to edit with emacs there. Here is a snippet of (I think) the relevant code from Blogger:

<div class="htmlBoxWrapper">
<textarea aria-label="Edit post. Html mode." class="htmlBox"
cols="100" id="postingHtmlBox" key="postBody" rows="50" wrap="soft">
</textarea>
</div>

Is it possible to use this extension in Blogger?

P.S. Is there a better forum for such a discussion, i.e. a place where I can ask "Has anyone had success using Edit with Emacs on Blogger?"

  1. It certainly should be possible to use it, the textarea looks fairly standard
  2. Not at the moment although the EmacsWiki pages can have additional commentary.

It looks like it's triggering my overly clever dealing of hidden text areas. Give me a moment.

This doesn't fix it but at least it's obvious what the problem is. I well need to ponder the proper fix.
