DrupalCon Austin 2014: THE BATTLE FOR THE BODY FIELD: DRUPAL AND THE FUTURE OF WYSIWYG

This talk explores the significant challenges of managing content in Drupal 8, focusing on the issue of WYSIWYG editing. The speaker discusses the conflict between structured content management using tools like CCK and FieldAPI, and the complications that arise when narrative text is combined with rich media. By examining lessons from the XML community, existing Drupal techniques, and the implications of the new WYSIWYG editor, the speaker provides insights on how to navigate these issues to ensure that Drupal sites remain flexible and manageable across devices. The session also identifies barriers within Drupal Core and how emerging web standards can facilitate better content editing experiences.
