Steffen, please review the attached patch.  The patch adds @LONG_HTML_TEXT@ and uses the long text editor by default (until the HTML text stuff is integrated)

Have you considered adding a meta data attribute that describes the mime-type instead? We would potentially end up with a lot of attribute types, e.g. for Confluence, TracWiki etc.

Great idea Steffen.  How about something like this?

Thanks. That makes sense to me but seem very useful unless it's actually used by the framework?

This is groundwork for future support by the framework.  Take for example the upcoming Html editor contribution to Mylyn Docs.  Also it's useful for connectors to be able to be more expressive about attribute metadata.  A real use case is for the Tasktop for VS plug-in to know which attributes are HTML without having to run a connector UI plug-in.
Comment 8 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-12-10 14:37:58 EST 
I understand but adding this as API implies that setting the content type will have an effect whereas the framework does not actually support this, yet. In order to apply this patch we would to make use of it within the framework, e.g. using WikiText.
