Distinguishing completed steps in the stepper from the active steps + introducing

Alena Egorova

* Difficult to tell uncompleted step vs. completed step (only differentiation is the check icon vs. step number).

• Use case: going back and forth between steps, so this is a bit unintuitive.

• We’ll sync back about this.

Where does TinyMCE or WYSWIG editors fit in paragon?

TJ Tracy (Deactivated)

• Should a rich text editor be included by paragon?

• Should we wrap TinyMCE in a paragon component? or should we standardize its use elsewhere?

• What would we actually gain from wrapping TinyMCE? What about plugins we built?

• What about paid plugins?

Notes

• TinyMCE is used for rich text editor / WYSIWYG editor in a few places in platform

  • TinyMCE chosen b/c it’s a11y

  • goto defacto option but there’s no standards around it

  • MFE: npm package; edx-platform: self-hosted library

• [JeffW]

  • editors across platform should have consistent behavior & plugins

  • keeping use cases in sync is a step forward

  • decision in Paragon hinges on consistency

  • tinymce = a11y, free/open source, extensible

• [AdamS] are there paid plugins? does this matter?

  • some interest in paid plugins (i.e., spellcheck, a11y checker, basic vs. advanced [pro] editor)

  • API key to denote paid plugins; self-hosted version

• [Kevin]

  • Basic use is documented, but extensible but advanced use is possible but might not be supported natively in Paragon?
