Instructions

1. Install EditArea files:
Extract the downloaded archive and move the "edit_area" folder in to "assets/plugins/"

NOTE:
If needed, chmod 755 for folders and chmod 644 for *.*

2. Create a new plugin (or edit if already exists):

Title: EditArea
Description: 0.5.0 - Allows text formatting, search and replace and real-time syntax highlighting

Code : Copy the code from "assets/plugins/edit_area/editarea.plugin.tpl" that was inside the archive. 3. Copy and Paste ALL of the following into "Plugin configuration" on the Configuration tab:

&eadbg=Debug Enabled?;list;true,false;false &word_wrap=Word Wrap Enabled?;list;true,false;true &font_size=Font Size;list;8,9,10,11,12;9 &defaultHeight=Initialize editor height;list;300px,400px,500px,600px,700px;500px &min_height=Minimum editor height;list;200,300,400;400 &start_highlight=Initialize with highlighting enabled?;list;true,false;true &allow_toggle=Allow editor toggling?;list;true,false;true &allow_resize=Allow editor resizing?;list;y,n;y &fullscreen=Initialize editor in fullscreen mode?;list;true,false;false &replace_tab_with_spaces=Replace tab with spaces?;list;// No,/* Yes */;/* Yes */ &tab_as_spaces=How many spaces per tab?;list;3,4,5;4 &plugins=Active Plugins;string;modx &catchunload=Try/Catch on Unload?;list;yes,no;yes

From C.Dolivet's EditArea Changelog
**** v 0.8 **** - Word-wrap is now supported (except for opera...). The new init() option is 'word_wrap' to set to 'true' (default is false). A new button appears in the default toolbar (button_code: 'word_wrap' ) - We can now clearly see the selected text - Add Internet explorer 8 support (but sadly I must use IE7 emulate mode in iframe due to a bug with tabulation width not beeing resized in IE's textarea) - Add Safari 4 support - Add Chrome 2 support - Better support of Opera 9.6 - Add Simplified Chinese translation "zh" (thanks to Abentian) - Add Bulgariane translation "bg" (thanks to Valentin Hristov) - Rename internal function $() by _$() - Delete EditArea.add_event() method (duplicate af editAreaLoader.add_event() method) - Do some code cleanup-up - Bug fix: highlight optimisation process was not working under IE (don't known how long it remain broken but must be since a long time) - Bug fix: EditArea.update_size sometimes uses undefined variable (fix this possibility and cleanup events) - Bug fix: Template.html was not valid XHTML - Bug fix: The checked attribute of the toogle button was not defined in xhtml syntax - Bug fix: If the editArea was loaded on a page related to a domain which was itself an iframe comming from another domain a JS error was thrown on load - Bug fix: When EditArea is used to replace a textarea which has style="visibility:hidden;", switching off EditArea would throw an error under IE
