#23Looks super slick, but worth noting there are open source alternatives. For example: http://jhollingworth.github.com/bootstrap-wysihtml5/ This a bootstrap wrapper around the wysihtml5 project: https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
so long? twitter bootstrap was released 14 months ago.
Yeah, but now almost every startup is using that.
I for one welcome our new framework overlords.
Meaning: Maybe we can have a rest from chasing after the 'technology of the week(tm)' and simply get things done without having to dig through yet another framework.

#25For those that care, Redactor uses the designMode technique, leans on the browser for most operations and keeps the markup clean via regexp cleanup. This is the cleanest solution for the most common use case of html email/html item entry. The other two techniques are full emulation and contenteditable.
Google uses full emulation in their products. You type into a hidden text field and the display/selection/cursor is entirely script rendered. This is especially good for things like docs where they need to emulate word's behavior. Downside is that doing it is a lot of code and it's easy to miss OS specific keybinds (e.g. CMD+left/right in OS X don't work in gmail).
Using contenteditable would be the preferred technique but it's buggy as hell. Of the editors I know about only Aloha and my editor take this approach. The amount of code is relatively small (mine is around 2k sloc) but it's all really ugly code that reminds me of the bad old days in 2002-2004 when I had my own DOM abstraction lib.

#26If you're looking for a Rich Text Editor, this is the only one I will recommend. I wrote a proprietary RTE last year and continue to maintain it because nothing available both worked and produced clean markup. Redactor came out this spring and is the only generally available RTE that does this. If you insist on OSS, WYSIHTML5 is the best available.

Hey can you share the link of the RTE that you wrote. Interested to see that.
I was messing with it last week and looks like I broke list handling.
Re: Redactor - WYSIWYG editor on jQuery
#28Looks very nice. A few things I can't seem to see how to do (that I can do with TinyMCE): 1. Define some CSS classes that I want to be available to the user (I'd never give colour and font controls to my users unless I wanted my lovely site design to end up full of bright-pink 42pt comic-sans) 2. Supply a list of already-uploaded images 3. Supply a list of internal links to the 'add link' dialog 4. Resize handles for…
