Classes that don't actually work together are lame. Maybe the above suggestion about Google Docs might work? Brutal. Classes that don’t actually work together are lame.

I misunderstood the problem as an issue with non-rich text boxes in general. The addon I mentioned simply lets you use an external editor more easily. In turn, the chosen editor can support TWiki syntax in the form of appropriate highlighting. It helps a bit, but is not a solution. Cheers. I see.

I'm sure you probably use something like this already, but thought it was worth mentioning :). Cheers. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125 Hi Luis,
