My current work priorities:

- bullets/numbering (multilevel, with many options)

- html import (probably without CSS at the first stage)

- live spelling

- drag and drop

- improvements in formatting (tabs, left/right alignment of images)

- WYSIWYG

and some simple tasks like headers/footers or image resizing as a background

work.

So WYSIWYG will be implemented not very soon.

I am trying not to hurry with new features but implementing them in the best

possible way.

RV and WPT have slightly different "patterns".

WPTools is more like MS Word.

RichView is more like IE/visual html editors.

This difference can be clearly seen comparing tables in WPT and RV.
