YUI Rich Text Editor

 

 

WYSIWYG or What You See Is What You Get is used to describe a system by which the content which gets displayed during the editing process is the exact way the content would be displayed once it is saved and goes live. WYSIWYG editors are the best way to shape up the look and feel of your content as you would want them to be available on a webpage.

 

Drupal, the leading open-source Content Management System offers the choice of many WYSIWYG editors each with their own set of pluses and minuses. Popular WYSIWYG editors in Drupal include: Wysiwyg API, FCKEditor, TinyMCE (Now replaced with Wysiwyg API), HTMLBox and YUIEditor.

 

After using each of these popular WYSIWYG Editors my vote for the most outstanding of them all would go to the YUI Editor. YUI Rich Text Editor is a project developed by Yahoo! Inc. YUI Editor is a Drupal module developed to allow use of the Yahoo Rich Text Editor.

 

The YUI Editor lets one drag and drop images and re-sizing of images, font changes, realignments and text coloring apart from many other features. The YUI Editor is easy to install and configure as per individual requirements. Also, a plug-in architecture can extend the Rich Text toolbar to achieve high degrees of customization.

 

So, if you are looking for a Drupal wysiwyg editor, YUI Editor is the name for you.
