Hi Tim,

as you noticed, I am in the process of making this component usefull. Let me
first emphasize that (as i understood it) about 2 years ago David Jones
designed and Al Buyers implemented the first version of this component.

Since then as you know widgets have appeared and the content component was
converted to widgets (Andrew?). Although a lot of work was done, it was not
not completed, that is what i am attempting doing now.....

I am redesigning the backend content part of the opentravelsystem and found
that the main parts of the content component did not work properly so i
improved that too.
if you could wait al least until the end of this week then i will have a
working backend page editing system using the html editor.

It will be using the content -> dataresource -> electronic text and it will be
using the multi language feature for text pages.

the connection to the product i do not have yet planned to implement.
