I usually hate Web-based editors, and I am not delighted with the ones coming with WordPress, either. Well, sometimes you have to go through Hell and back while performing various online tasks, and that’s why I try to avoid using Web-based editing tools as much as possible. On the other hand, I like trying new stuff as often as I can, and today the time has come to give WYMeditor a chance to prove its worthiness.
This time, we’re not talking about another WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, because WYMeditor is, at least according to the creator, a WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) one. OK, good, but what’s the big difference between WYSIWYG and WYSIWYM, after all?
The idea is to forget about all those details of the visual layout and concentrate on structure and meaning, instead. Sure, you’ll also get all the comfort you need, and I must confess that I enjoyed playing with the demos available here.
Other than the above… I guess you should take a look and maybe even try a little implementation on a site of yours. Considering that WYMeditor is freely available, being covered by the terms of the MIT and GPL licenses, there’s nothing you can lose, at least not as long as you’re moving fast enough, of course! 😉
Compatibility: WYMeditor shouldn’t have any kind of problem with Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, as well as various others based on these big players, like Maxthon or Flock
