What is the best rich textarea editor for jQuery? [closed]

Solution 1:

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned markitup:

markItUp! is a JavaScript plugin built on the jQuery library. It allows you to turn any textarea into a markup editor. Html, Textile, Wiki Syntax, Markdown, BBcode or even your own Markup system can be easily implemented.

Solution 2:

For me markitup is an excellent editor. It does rich text as a markup editor and allows you to use different standards: html, wiki, UBB, etc... It also allows plugins very easily.

Solution 3:

IMHO tinyMce and ckeditors are way too bloated. I've tried a lot of different editors that would be jquery plugins and the best one to my taste is HtmlBox. It's extremely small = 14Kb minified (without icons) and unobtrusive.

I've tried all of these: 1. Avidan editor 2. Wymeditor 3. ueditor 4. RTE Jquery 5. jwysiwyg (GNU2) 6. jhtml area (Microsoft public license) 7. htmlbox (mit license) 8. TinyMCE (gnu) 9. Ckeditor (as well as FCKeditor)
