mandrews81 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 As I am creating this message I am typing into a '<textarea>' tag that allows me to format the text much like a normal document editor.I am developing a content management site and need a simple way for non-html programming users to enter formatted text and spell check the text that will be placed into a database column and then pulled from the column and displayed in a page.Anyone doing this and what are you using?Max Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29798-formatting-text/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 you could do much worse than download a copy of [url=http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/]TinyMCE[/url]. A nice little cross platform wysiwyg editor. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29798-formatting-text/#findComment-136850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 For a periodical site that I've written for the university here, I allow the web editor to use a combination of custom BBCode tags. Redbullmarkey is [b]right on[/b] with his recommendation of TinyMCE, but I found that I didn't want to give them that much flexibility in my situation since TinyMCE [i]generates[/i] the HTML for you, and at times, this can cause little layout glitches. I prefer to control my content at a baser level.Also, to help with text presentation, check out [url=http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-smartypants/]PHP Smartypants[/url] to help with fixing all your "smart quotes" as well as hyphens, elipses and other such characters.
