Preventing editors to insert links into the CMS_INPUT_DOM component

In some scenarios you don't want the editor to be able to use a fully fledged CMS_INPUT_DOM component. There are switches to disable bold or italic for example. A less know option is to disable links, which can be done by providing an empty LINKEDITOR param:

<CMS_INPUT_DOM name="pt_text">
    <LANGINFOS>
      <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Text"/>
    </LANGINFOS>
    <LINKEDITORS>
      <LINKEDITOR name=""/>
    </LINKEDITORS>
</CMS_INPUT_DOM>

Here's an example of a stripped down CMS_INPUT_DOM component, which doesn't allow any kind of formatting. You might want to use this if the editor should enter an (unformatted) teaser.

<CMS_INPUT_DOM name="pt_text" bold="no" italic="no">
    <LANGINFOS>
      <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Text"/>
    </LANGINFOS>
     <FORMATS>
           <TEMPLATE name="p"/>
    </FORMATS>
    <LINKEDITORS>
      <LINKEDITOR name=""/>
    </LINKEDITORS>
</CMS_INPUT_DOM>
