WYMeditor jQuery based WYSIWYG Editor

Every web-programmer has to struggle with those damn WYSIWYG editors. I have used HTMLarea, FCKeditor and TinyMCE. What they all have in common is their bloated Javascript code which makes the integration and extension really painful. Another point is the bad html code quality concerning the compliance with xhtml standarts.

Yes there are markup languages like BBcode or Textile … but why does someone needs a markup language to produce another markup ??(cause all existing webeditors suck) Besides those stupid markup attempts i don´t want to learn a markup language, i just want to write without barriers.

WYMeditor tries to tackle those problems and looks pretty promising. To quote the WYMeditors goal:

WYMeditor has been created to generate perfectly structured XHTML strict code, to conform to the W3C XHTML specifications and to facilitate further processing by modern applications.

I discovered WYMeditor a couple of month ago. At that time the programmers started to switch to jQuery for the internal rendering engine. This concept really thrilled me. By now the Editor is available in a 0.3 beta version and the jQuery integration has advanced big time.

I really recommend to try and support this editor. You and your clients will get a totally new web editor experience.
