Rich text (WYSIWYG) editors for on the web
I know of some editors that make entering content for websites easy. Usually it's called a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get) but RTE (Rich Text Editor) is a better name.
- FCKeditor is a fully featured editor with file management and integration for drupal and some other systems.
- WYMeditor is a very new one, but it promises to deliver a What You Mean interface, for text editing that is aware of the HTML semantics.
- Openwebware provides a rich editor that promises to be a simple solution too.
- Other options are TinyMCE and HTMLarea .. but I'm not really into those.
