I would like to have created a poll, but don't have that permission level.
(If someone else has the correct permissions, could you please make a poll or survey out of this?)

What I would like to know is, "What type of Editor do you use to create the text in your website?
I'm starting up a couple of Drupal websites and am looking for some good ways to let my visitors enter text, so I want to know what all you are doing.

What version of Drupal to you use?

Do you Just Use Text box on the pages and

  • [ ] only enter plain text
  • [ ] enter html

Do you use a WYSIWYG editor? If so, which one

  • [ ] I use Htmlarea
  • [ ] I use Tinymce
  • [ ] I use Fckeditor
  • [ ] I use another WYSIWYG editor (Which one?)

Do You Use Another Editor?

  • [ ] I use the WikiText editor
  • [ ] I use Another Wiki Editor
  • [ ] I use another editor (please state what editor that is)

Do You Use Some Other Method of Entering Text?

  • [ ] I use my word processor to create text and then copy and paste it into the text areas of Drupal
  • [ ] I use some other form of entering text (please state what that is)

Thanks
Stephen

What version of Drupal to you use?

Drupal 4.6.3

Do you Just Use Text box on the pages?

I started by using plain Filtered HTML TextAreas, then moved onto Full HTML TextAreas because the content editors are all part of a closed-group. And most of us know HTML and "require" advanced formatting markup.

Do you use a WYSIWYG editor?

Now, yes. Because the HTML TextAreas are a pain to use when re-editing content. Usually we used to copy the content of the node to an WYSIWYG Editor, make the changes and then copy back the Full HTML into the node. Now, we use TinyMCE.

Do You Use Another Editor?

No. But we have other intra-sites, some using Wiki-Engines, and the simplicity and speed of content editing tasks in those platforms is great. We would like to replace TinyMCE for Drupal with something like that. Must use a WikiMarkup (there's an effort to make it "standard") which besides allowing for powerful yet simple formatting would also allow for quick and pratical node-linking and external linking.

Do You Use Some Other Method of Entering Text?

Right now, with TinyMCE, we don't. We used to.

I do whichever is approprote to the task. Most often, I use a Markdown or reStructured Text filter and enter plain text.
