Hi,

Which editor plugin would you recommend?
My needs are to preserve source formatting (I want to code directly in html and preserve it), allow image insert via IMCE and work in french/english
I've been testing ckeditor, fck and tinymce. The first two won't preserve the source for me (I've searched this forum for solutions). Tinymce does, but the button don't appear (have tried to only enable a few buttons) ....

Is there a consensus on which editors *currently* work best within Wysiwyg?

Thanks in advance...

In TinyMCE you also need to have the "Image" button enabled for IMCE to work (it adds a Browse button in its dialog, not in the toolbar).

FCKeditor and CKEditor have content "parsers" and "writers" where the writers can be set to style the output the way you want.
Currently, we've had to sacrifice some of this functionality for CKEditor until we're able to allow advanced settings to be changed via the GUI, so it's currently set to either compress the source or format the output similar to how TinyMCE does. I think you can override these settings using hook_wysiwyg_editor_settings_alter() to try various combinations. I don't think you can set it to keep the formatting exactly as is, because it's transformed into a DOM-like structure between the parser and the writer.

In general, any question about editors containing "best" or "recommended" are not answered.

"best" isn't answerable, but a comparison is always useful. See
#802008: Which Editor?
Comparison of WYSIWYG modules (This isn't about WYSIWYG API, but some points are still applicable, and if anyone finds the time, it could be converted to WYSIWYG API plugins)
Comparison of WYSIWYG API plugins More basic than the above, and apparently a lot more subjective.

Plus, a quick 'net search brings up a couple of recent comparisons, like http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/tinymce-vs-ckeditor
