Mozilla Midas support in Roller.

Comments[1] by Dave in Roller

I added support for the Mozilla Midas HTML editor control to Roller, but I've found Midas to be pretty flaky. It has crashed Mozilla on me several times today (I'm running Mozilla 1.3). I think it is a little too unstable for general use, so I probably will not add it as an option to the Roller Website:Setting page. Here is a screenshot, just to prove that it was actually working at one point:

I had to do a little work to adapt the Midas demo page for use in Roller, but nothing major. Even when Midas is working, it is far from perfect. It does not support XHTML and the HTML that it generates is not very pretty.
