Word Processor in PHP

Post by lexfridman »

Hi,

I'm looking for a "word processor" that I can embed into a website. By "word processor" I mean something like what is used to write a post in this forum. You can add tags, insert links, images, etc.

This code would probably be mostly Javascript-based, not as much PHP, so I'm sorry if this post is a little off-topic. Please let me know if you know of good stand-alone code to do just the kind of editing you do when you post to this forum.

Thanks,
Lex

This is a feature comparison list of most of the good WYSIWYG editors on the web, both open source and commercial. Hope that helps.

The two most popular are FCKeditor and TinyMCE. Either of those will work well.

Just to let you know, DevNetwork doesn't use a WYSIWYG editor. Instead, our buttons are little convenience features for adding bbcode tags. Much more lightweight, and usually sufficient.
