I’m fairly new to ROR. Does anyone know of a good rich text editor to use? Is fckeditor good or is their a better one to use? Thanks, Steve ---

Is fckeditor good or is their a better one to use? * * * I played with tinymce and easy-fckeditor and settled on easy-fckeditor because it allowed me to easily configure which tools were displayed and I have different tools for different forms/columns. Specifically, there are areas where I don’t allow http tags at all. fckeditor, the new ckeditor, easy-fckeditor and tinymce all seem very capable of doing the job. The difference is whether you want to customer, what you want to customize and how deeply you want to get into the javascript code to customize. For me, easy-fckeditor was an appropriate choice. You also will definitely want to check out the Sanitize gem because it allows you to choose which tags/attributes are permitted because as soon as you allow people to start putting in their own tags, someone is bound to start putting in things like script tags.

There’s also [GitHub - basecamp/wysihat: A WYSIWYG JavaScript framework](http://github.com/37signals/wysihat) I’ve used tinymce on past projects. It’s a pain in the ass but, if you need to integrate uploading images and really customize things it might be the best way to go. AFAIK it has many more plugins than fck and their forums are pretty active.
