   3  - What does Epoz mean?
   4
   5     Nothing special. Don't break your mind! Sounds nice and is simply
   6     Zope turned around. Long history for that one...

   9  - Will Epoz be maintained in the future? I've heard of Kupu...
  10
  11     Yes, it will. The Kupu-project (formerly know as Epoz 1.X)
  12     will not replace Epoz 0.x in any of my applications, because
  13     I need a "simple, but rock-stable solution". I'll maintain, support
  14     and develop Epoz therefore in the future.

  17  - Does Epoz work with Opera, Konqueror, Safari, Mac-IE, ...?
  18
  19     No! No chance to make it work. Epoz uses a rich-text-feature
  20     which is only supported by IE >=5.5 and Mozilla >= 1.3 (or other
  21     recent Gecko-based browsers). But there are rumors that Opera
  22     and Safari will implement a rich-text-engine in upcoming
  23     releases. We'll see...

  25
  26  - Can I use several Epoz-Widgets in one page (e.g. for Archetypes)?
  27
  28     No, you can't and I have no idea how to make this work. If someone can
  29     provide a patch (several people tried hard, but found no solution),
  30     I'm fine and you will get famous, if not, that's the end of the story.
  31
  32
  33  - How can I get relative URLs from Epoz?
  34
  35     Install the shipped EpozPostTidy-Hook. Create an External Method
  36     as described in the README.txt to make it work. Very simple.

  38
  39  - Why doesn't Epoz support different fonts or sizes?
  40
  41     Simple answer: because I don't like crazy people playing with fonts and
  42     different font-sizes. All fonts or sizes should be set in stylesheets
  43     and not in the content. If you want this feature, please do it yourself.

  45
  46  - How can I get valid XHTML from Epoz?
  47
  48     Simply install mxTidy (http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxTidy.html)
  49     and restart your server. Please see the mxTidyHowTo.txt provided with
  50     Epoz if you have problems installing mxTidy. Please note: I do NOT
  51     support mxTidy-problems!

  53
  54  - How can I edit ZPT, DTML or JavaScript with Epoz?
  55
  56     Simple answer: you can't!!! Epoz is a HTML-wysiwyg-**content**-editor,
  57     just a simple replacement for (Re)StructuredText for the average user.
  58     You CAN'T (!!!) edit any JavaScript, DTML, ZPT, PHP, ASP, JSP, PSP,
  59     CSP, ABC, XYZ, AWK, Python, Forth, Assembler, AmigaBasic,
  60     Half-Life-Mod or your haircut with Epoz... it's sad, but I have no
  61     time to work on these features...;)

  63
  64  - How can I change the background-color of the Epoz-Wysiwyg-Area in Plone?
  65
  66     Epoz uses the Plone-CSS for rendering the wyswyg-area. In some cases
  67     this might be a problem, so you want to specify another background-color
  68     for editing content. Simply add a customized css-definition to your
  69     ploneCustom.css::
  70
  71      .visualFontSizeCorrection {font-size: 75%; background-color: #e0e0e0;}
