Hi,  
I struggle with the setup of the Tinymce editor.  
I configured the [html] section in the configuration file and when I follow the link, it seems to load a lot of javascript.  
`src = https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/replacewithmapikey/tinymce/4/tinymce.min.js`

I restarted the server and was hoping to either get a different “rich text”-widget or at least an error-message. But nothing happens. I do not see any different behavior or logging output.

In tested with a custom module, containing a field with  
`<field name="yourfieldname" widget="richtext"/>`  
(wich is missing lists, so I hope Tinymce might do the job).

What configuration am I missing?

Thanks for you help

Regards Jakob

@Gruenfischer Maybe self hosting tinymce could make it work.

TinyMCE is not used to `richtext` but for `html` widget.  
You can find such usage for example in [Administration / User Interface / Actions / Reports](https://demo7.4.tryton.org/#demo7.4/model/ir.action.report/59;views=%5B21%2C22%5D).

using [the “edit” link opens TinyMCE](https://demo:demo@demo7.4.tryton.org/demo7.4/ir/html/ir.action.report/59/report_content_html?language=en&title=Tryton).

Thank you for your input; I’ve reviewed it. I was hoping for a more functional “Rich Text Editor.”

I have a customer who requires custom processes involving extensive documentation, where text snippets are linked to specific employees, tagged, and have custom workflows. Eventually, these snippets will be exported and combined into HTML.

Tryton is the ideal framework for this purpose. The only thing missing is a more advanced rich text editor than the standard widget, which lacks basic list functionality.

I understand this isn’t a typical ERP use case, but Tryton as a framework fits perfectly for this scenario.

Any input or suggestions on improving text editing in Tryton for better usability would be greatly appreciated, or perhaps someone has already implemented similar processes.
