Has anyone used CKeditor with RoR (not the pervious release FCKeditor,  
but hte new platform)? Any gotchas?

I read up a fair chunk of info on CKeditor vs. TinyMCE, and I am leaning  
towards CKeditor, but if you want to tell me that TinyMCE and Ruby were  
made for each other and why, that’s also good to know :).

Bah, typos :).

I wanted to add that if there are other opensource or inexpensive but  
solid solutions for a browser-based WYSIWYG editor for RoR apps, I’d  
love to hear about those as well. I dug a little on the forum, but I am  
not finding anything much.

Rails is (mostly) server-side. WYSIWYG editors are client-side.  
They’re just about completely independent of each other. Pick an editor  
you like.

Best,
