I need to add a rich text editor to my website. This my first time doing this, so which rich text editor do you suggest I use? I need one that is fully functional and easy to integrate with a rails application, also I am using prototype.
Thanks in advance 🙂
You can add an editor like TinyMCE as the posters above have recommended. However IMHO the HTML generated by these editors tends to get messy. I would suggest you look at something like Redcloth. With a text field. And for added bling you could give a ajaxy preview, just like stackoverflow does!. This would be a much more cleaner solution IMHO.
If you are going to use a WYSIWYG editor, take a look at CKeditor and also the Yahoo YUI2 Rich Text Editor.
As for TinyMCE there is a Rails plugin that would make things easier if you decide to use it.
