Hi HN,<p>I've been scouring the Internet looking for a good HTML editor I can integrate into my web app and haven't found anything that actually looks good.<p>Has anybody here had success with finding a good editor and integrating it into their application?<p>I'd appreciate any recommendations.
You've probably already heard of these, but I really wouldn't recommend many of the smaller WYSIWYG editor projects -- they can sometimes be buggy or undeveloped.<p>You can re-theme TinyMCE if you want a mature, stable, and well-trusted package. The theming system isn't too difficult to learn. <a href="http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tryit/skins.php" rel="nofollow">http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tryit/skins.php</a><p>Also there's the old FCK Editor that got renamed.
<a href="http://ckeditor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ckeditor.com/</a>
If you don't mind being on the cutting edge, you can try this: <a href="http://www.aloha-editor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.aloha-editor.com/</a>. It's a HTML5 Editor.<p>Otherwise, I second the recommendations for TinyMCE and CKEditor.
I am also in the process of building my RoR app and need a wysiwyg editor. I have found a gem which installs tinyMCE on your rails app: <a href="https://github.com/kete/tiny_mce" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kete/tiny_mce</a>
It took me 3 minutes to integrate it into my app. My only backdraw is that it lacks the ability to upload an image - so I am looking into that now.<p>Good luck.
