Hey all,

Has anyone any thought on WYSIWYG editors?  
I have my own opinion, and it ain’t all that positive, nevertheless, I  
am working on a small blog site and the client wishes to have a  
WYSIWYG editor? Is there a decent, non-buggy one that fits nicely  
with ROR?

Cheers,

j

I’d teach the client markdown if it is possible 🙂

)

Dojo 0.9 also has the Dojo Editor. Dojo looks like a really neat thing  
to  
try anyway.
