Comparision…
TinyMCE - from mudbomb
- Requires to make changes - Adding wysiwyg switch and breakline eneters
- Not bad overall
- Disadvantages - some engine bugs. Use of some "old" tags like fonts instead of CSS
- Need to switch of WYSIWYG for WP Spell check.
FCKEditor - WYSIWYG
- Nice
- Disadvantages is its messes up comments html codes (should be fixed in the latest FCKEeditor release)
- Almost truly WYSIWYG when typing (not like a textarea)
- Some bugs - and I would like all the buttons in also
HTMLArea(new) - WYSIWYGii
- Quite stable
- Works with Quicktags
- Have a path function
- Cool Image Plugin
- NONO is some problems copying and pasting in mozilla. Need to configure some settings. Some little bugs too with the engine on firefox. Eg. Clicking source and return , u cant edit anymore.
So what are the options?
- Hack TinyMCE.
- Integrate the latest FCK with WP
- Live on with HTMLArea
- Nope no time
- Why do that if something else works? But I prefer FCK
- But I already try hacking a split view for fckeditor. So I will have to go tweak the settings?
If only everything were ideal..
An Update!
A Plugin call ChenPress is released recently. I found in on WP forums.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/34793
Uses FCKEditor 2.0 FC which is my more prefered WYSIWYG Editor. Fixes some ugly bugs I used to have, and nice skin. nice handling with div and css
However, due to the way FCK replaces the textarea, QuickTags and SpellCheck do not work. That means, I might need to port my integrated hack for swap plugin(toggle quicktags/wysiyg) for mudbomb’s WISI plugin,
and den if have the time, hack in 2 panel view again…
What I would like to see is more common tags support. Example, backquote, , pre, so on
