Hello, We are developing an commercial application that need to use an RTE. Someone know one RTE editor that can I use in an commercial application? We need basic functions to format paragrapher, bold, italic, … I found FCKEditor but it is very expensive and weight. I found this list too but don’t know what is trustful: > **[Genii Software](https://www.geniisoft.com/showcase.nsf/WebEditors)** > > Genii Software provides software that enriches Notes/Domino with extensions ranging from rich text programmability to data mining to high fidelity HTML generation.

TinyMCE and FCKEditor are the two major choices. There are some lightweight apps out there, but really lack when it comes to the functionality that these two supply. I have used TinyMCE in the past, and have loaded in the modules I wanted within the config. Along with FCKEditor, you can customize what buttons are loaded. - Nb ```auto Nathaniel S. H.

Hi Nb I’m interested on TinyMCE, how can I use it for my RoR application? Is it easy to implement? Thanks Nathaniel B. wrote: > TinyMCE and FCKEditor are the two major choices.

Hi Rath, TinyMCE is really easy to implement. Just download the files and put a couple lines of javascript in your app. See the instructions at [The Most Advanced WYSIWYG Editor | Trusted Rich Text Editor | TinyMCE](http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tinymce/docs/installing.html) Thanks Frank Rath J.
