When I try using it in a content-type I get a simple input box.
How should my xml look in order to get the WYSIWYG HTML editor that the documentation promises?
Is there another way to make text with various inline links?
The editor icons don’t appear until you click in the box. Most of these are fairly common/standard editing features, but some things (like the linking) should indeed be documented with examples. We will add a documentation section for content editors and admin tools in the future.
