I'd like to use Rich Text Editing in place on forms in order to let admins change instructions. What are the best options for doing this?
[To be more clear - the admins are non-technical but may want to control some formatting without using markup or with as little markup as possible. What I'd like is for them to be able to edit inline all AJAXy with an RTE featuring some formatting controls and then submit and be able to see what the instructions will look like to the end user without changing pages.
With Regards to plugins specifically, what I'd like to know is which Rich Test Editing plugins are the best for use in Rails. Easiest to implement, clearest API, easiest to use inline, etc... ]
We started with TinyMCE but we are switching to Yahoo's Rich Text Editor because there were some weird issues with the way TinyMCE worked and because the Rich Text Editor documentation and default look-and-feel is superior.
Both are pretty easy to integrate with Rails (they are just JavaScript, after all). There are plugins, but you don't really need one.
