Can I confidently assume that this would be the CKEditor 3 API equivalent?

Are there docs catered to help me along this process? Did I get it right? If I have var editor = CKEDITOR.replace('editor1'); can I write editor.setData(value); for even nicer shorthand? Experimentation is good education and all, but docs would be handy too.

alfonsoml,

Thanks for your help. Is there an active IRC channel for this type of discussion? I have more questions.

For instance, does FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["liferay"] = [ stuff ]; become config.toolbar_liferay = [ stuff ];? At first glance, it seems incorrect that I would modify the name of the array like that.

The best thing that you can do is read the docs and search what other people have written. As you can't understand I can't be full time here just to reply the same questions.
