The biggest issue I've had with this sort of editor is pasting from word or other programs which attempt to insert formatting, how are you planning handling that? Do you currently strip out spurious tags received like comment tags? It'd be great to see everything stripped except b and i tags for example.

Scribe comes with a “sanitizer” plugin. See http://www.theguardian.com/info/developer-blog/2014/mar/20/i...

Thanks, definitely going to take a look at Scribe. We're currently using redactor, but would prefer something open source. Scribe looks really good but I haven't had time to play with it yet.

As someone who has struggled with this problem recently, thank you. I've spent a good portion of the last week battling irritating Redactor issues such as global variable conflicts and literally hardcoded PHP path values. I will be very happy if this turns out to work as good as it looks at a first glance.

FWIW: we tried to submit a patch to Redactor, but it was refused, partly because they didn't use version control.

Quill looks promising,but pasting from word doesn't seem to work.Most editors built today focus a lot on semantic tags generated for bold( ) and not much on paste from word.Would love to see an editor that implements proper paste from ms word

yep, real world problems. I use lxml (python) on the server to remove the crap.

the ms markup is often much larger than the content
