django collection.
Django-oscar 3.0.2 uses v5.6.2 TinyMCE as a WSIWYG HTML Editor.
TinyMCE is used in the django-oscar dashboard for all textarea elements with the class wysiwyg.
For example, the Admin Emails Template Editor is powered by TinyMCE.
TinyMCE has successfully been used with Django and django-oscar for years and
the combination is well understood.
Django-summernote seems to have been getting more attention lately as a resource for Django apps,
instead of reusing the TinyMCE arftifacts already provided by the Django admin apps.
Is there a significant reason to
use Summernote django-oscar custom code?
I do not know the answer.
Below is all I know at this point.
TinyMCE Use in Django-Oscar
Django-oscar.readthedocs.io shows where TinyMCE is used by django-oscar.
Directly examining the django-oscar git repository shows more specific information:
