Wysiwyg

sun - October 7, 2007 - 10:24

Wysiwyg module allows you to use client-side editors (a.k.a. WYSIWYG editors) to edit content in Drupal. It simplifies installation and integration of editors and allows to assign an editor to each input format. Wysiwyg module replaces all other editor integration modules and no other Drupal module is required.

It is capable to support all kinds of client-side editors. A client-side editor can be a HTML-editor (a.k.a. WYSIWYG), a pseudo-editor (buttons to insert markup into a plain textarea), or even a Flash-based editor. Each editor library is integrated through support files. Support for various editor libraries is built-in.

Wysiwyg module allows Drupal modules to integrate with all editors - without having to implement editor-specific code.

Have a look at the current Progress & Summary to help in development by trying new, great features. Discussions happen in the Wysiwyg group, but also in IRC #drupal-wysiwyg.
