Wysiwyg Editors

Maybe we should integrate? These all seem to break the back button REALLY BADLY. We also need spell checker integration.

Option: if they produce bad code, clean it up on server-side using regex.

Needed functionality

At its core the editor needs to be able to:

• Bold
• Italic
• Link
• Make ordered and unordered lists
• Blockquote
• Insert and align images

Things we'll need sooner rather than later:

• Nextpage and more support
• Dictionary lookup
• Spell checking
• Auto-save

Gmail seems to do most of this.
