corbin Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Does anyone know of a decent WYSIWYG editor for the web that uses BBCode? Well, obviously there are a lot, but I mean one that updates what you type instead of just wrapping tags around it. For example, if you highlighted the text "text" and hit the bold button, it would actually turn it bold, not just put "text". I'm guessing none exist because I've googled quite a bit and found nothing. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but I figured I should at least ask around. The client I'm doing this for wants to retain the userfriendly-ness of a WYSIWYG editor that does it in HTML and updates the field that you're typing in, but certain problems come along with that. I'll probably end up securing an editor that uses HTML, but I figured I should at least see if anyone knew anything about this.

jxrd Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 You mean like google mail? The way the text is actually formatted the way it will look...hence wysiwyg? I've always wondered how they do that... God damn google genius coders. But yeah, I have no useful input I'm just curious...sorry.

corbin Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah that's what I meant ;p. Kind of funny... A few minutes ago, I decided to just use TinyMCE and then clean up and secure the HTML content. Then I found out there's a BBCode extension for TinyMCE. So, my question is answered now ;p.

jxrd Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Aha, I'm going to study that code after my exam in...30 mins?! Ahhh.
