Item14488: PatternSkin is missing "body" zone used by NatSkin and many extensions

NatSkin added a body zone which can be used by templates to add content at the end of the page.

Plugins designed for NatSkin don't work on PatternSkin because of the missing zone.

Hi is this the reason because in a new foswiki installation, the "patternTextareaButton" and "patternButtonEnlarge" dont appear in the raw edit mode?

No, the controls on the raw textarea were removed during the development of the new Nat editor. The EDITBOXSIZE and EDITBOXSTYLE controls were also removed.
