1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

In the beginning of ILIAS 3, we only had the Tiny Rich Text Editor to design the login page and to add information to it. Later, the login page could also be edited by using the ILIAS page editor.

As part of the strategy to get rid of a parallel use of Tiny RTE and ILIAS page editor (and to reduce complexity of code), the login page should only be edited with the IPE in the future. Therefore, the option to use the Rich Text Editor should be abandoned with ILIAS 9. Since I assume that the Tiny RTE is only used by very few installations - if at all - there is no need to migrate the content created with the Tiny on the login page.

The option "Use Rich-Text editor" should be removed with ILIAS 9
