crystaleye Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi folks, i am looking for an open source WYSIWYG text editor which allows me to customize settings like to set or unset the bold option (by default) or with other html tags within that text editor. I found the fckeditor but thats very heavy and takes time to load. Any light-weighted and simple-to-use editor would be fine with me. Can you guys please suggest me which one is the best for use in php applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarif4u Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 There are alot of open source software available. Checkout this link. http://www.htmlarea.com/directory/Web_Software_Components/WYSIWYG_Editors/index.html There are also free editors. Personally i like htmlarea, lite and easy to use.

Siggles Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Have you tried TextPad? It allows a lot of customisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Have you tried TextPad? It allows a lot of customisation. He's talking about a browser-based editor... something you'd plug into a CMS or similar. I use this one: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ I'm fairly happy with it.

He said he was looking for WYSIWYG text editor which doesn't make any sense. -- Therefore Siggles said "textpad". I say notepad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 He said he was looking for WYSIWYG text editor which doesn't make any sense. Sure it does. WYSIWYG is "what you see is what you get" - in the context of text editors, it means that you don't have to edit the formatting (HTML) manually. Whatever you see on the screen is what will get shown in the final result - the browser, in this case. I don't think there are any, but if there were a document format that was purely XML or other text-based markup language, you could write and format your own documents in plain text, or you could use OpenOffice (or equivalent) to write it and format it as WYSIWYG. He's talking about a browser-based editor... something you'd plug into a CMS or similar. He never said that. He mentioned that he used fckeditor, but found it too heavy - FCK Editor is a product very similar to TinyMCE, so I'd wager that ober was on the same page.
