No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    This works well, however a lot of knowledge is assumed. I think the documentation could be a lot clearer.

    Where has this been for so long 🙂 This really is a great little plugin (for TinyMCE advanced) that lets developers add specific class elements that any WYSIWYG user can use without needing to go into the code to add a class element to a required tag. With options to have a class title that makes sense to anyone, plus the ability to add the class to a tag selector or name to a specific tag just makes it so easy to use in the WYSIWYG editor. The ability to add additional styles is a bonus, however I tend to leave those blank (my personal choice) and simply have the sites theme editor css file contain the styles predefined. Some may say why not just use the editor css file for classes under the formats menu? While that does work this plugin allows you to have full control of all editor classes you want to use within the editor that are easier to use and to match your front end styles. You may need to experiment a little to get the correct class added to your required tag, but once it is all done the WYSIWYG TinyMCE Editor is so much more useful. The main benefit of this is that you can be sure you are adding the required class (and styles) to the tags YOU want. Big thanks to the developer, please keep this plugin alive …
