Actually the Xinha editor has a button that addresses this
particular
issue, and here at SAPO we're more or less used to use it.
Don't recall exactly if it comes activated by default, but
here are
my xinha configuration directives:
XINHA_PLUGINS =
['ContextMenu','Stylist','SpellChecker']
XINHA_TOOLBAR =
[["bold","italic","underline",
"strikethrough","separator"],
(HTMLArea.is_gecko ? [] :
["cut","copy","paste"]),
["space","undo","redo","s
eparator"],["createlink","separator"
;],
["killword","removeformat","separat
or","htmlmode"]]
The word special are those last elements on the toolbar
conf.
Hope this helps,
Pedro
