Content editors
To edit (XML) contents, OpenCms features two possiblities:A third possibility is editing the XML source code. the form-based content editor and the inline content editor. Both are closely related and internally just two modes of the same editor. Nevertheless, each has its advantages and disadvantages:
- While the inline editor allows you to stay on your webpage, the form-based editor opens as a new page - which is a plus of the inline editor.
- On the other hand, the form-based editor provides a complete view of all the content and also allows comfortable editing of non-textual values - here the inline editor has only limited capabilities.
- Moreover, inline editing only works only for the current language. In the form-based editor all languages can be edited.
