Worked Perfectly.
by theatereleven·12 years ago·1 reply

I needed a text area with a visual limiter for creating a lot of content pages with small text sections that needed to match up to the size of pictures on their left. This worked beautifully – the progress indicator saves writing time. Recommended!

Useful, waiting for see it in core

It works 100% and i hope they’ll put this into core soon. One of the best plugin to avoid client-layout-destruction!
