The eZ Publish Online Editor (OE for short) is an extension that allows you to create formatted pages using an intuitive interface. With the Online Editor you can easily format long passages of text for your articles, product descriptions, weblogs, etc. You can put your text into an XML field and then format the contents by using the OE interface which is very similar to the ones found in many word processors. There is no need to know XML or manipulate tags manually. Simply click the necessary buttons and the OE will automatically convert your instructions into valid eZ Publish XML code. After installation, the Online Editor becomes an integrated part of your administration interface. It will appear every time you edit text that is stored using the XML block datatype. The following screenshot shows the Online Editor in action:
