I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but as of Version 2.0.4 (419.3), my JS Quicktags (example page) seem to work in Safari. Yay!
Capsule, The Developer’s Code Journal
I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
Great! Does this mean that the quicktags in the WordPress admin work as well? (Don’t have a Mac, therefore no Safari…)
