Hi LightDot,

Thanks for the remind. Actually WYMeditor was on my radar. I love its
clean output code philosophy. However its default look-and-feel could
surprise my end users, I am afraid. For example, those heading
1/2/3/.../6 containers look scary red when editing, although they look
"normal" again when previewing. See 
http://files.wymeditor.org/wymeditor/trunk/src/examples/01-basic.html

Maybe WYMeditor does this on purpose, but I expect an editing
experience would be less surprising to end users. (The least-
surprising rule when designing a UI.)

That said, I think that is "just" a css issue. So if someday I found a
handy css for it, then I would fall in love with WYMeditor.

Regards,
Ray
