texte = I have used many of the wysiwyg editors. I like tinymce the best, especially the spell check integration with google spell. One thing to worry about is these editors add characters between tags that when viewed across operating system shows up as boxes (usually don't show up on your machine but another system may interpret the soft return as a box character). I solved this by changing default settings to not pad soft returns between tags. However please note that you are exposing your site to Cross site scripting! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting. You will have to clean what your user's input. Using these tools to clean the data is not secure. Super easy to bypass. Also, if you are allowing folks to enter data then display the data with [interpret][/interpret] they can enter webdna and go to town on your server. One library I started working with (not done yet) is http://htmlpurifier.org/. Essentially, I'll have to pass the data to a PHP script, have it cleaned, then passed back to webdna for final processing.
