Content Authoring
The red dots on the authoring interface indicated sections of editable content for each web page, hence the name RedDot for the product. This easy to use feature was popular with customers and won awards in 2001 for its usability. By 2006 RedDot was one of the few WCM vendors left that continued to develop the content authoring interface in house. Most other WCM vendors had moved to open source alternatives or licensed an Online rich-text editor from commercial vendors such as Ephox and Ektron. In response to customers' attempts to work around the limitations of the RedDot editor by installing other editors RedDot announced that they had developed an integration layer to allow the use of CKeditor and Ephox EditLive! as alternative editors. In 2009 RedDot (now the OpenText Web Solutions Group) made the Telerik RadEditor available alongside the existing RedDot editor for CMS 9. The integrations for CKeditor and Ephox EditLive! are still available.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content ... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
