Someone posted a list of WYSIWYG editors from their bookmarks folder a few days back (Tue, 24 Aug 2004 07:34:25 -0700 (PDT), according to my email client) - our development team has been looking at implementing one for a while now, so this was of some interest.
Out of the 8 listed, the one which appealed to us most (and was free!) was this one: http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm . Of course, Xstandard is supposed to be great, but (except for the lite version) costs money -- it's cheaper to go with a "lesser" solution and customise it into an application we're happy with, rather than pay for a non-custom solution which makes us more dependent on external providers. With 130,000+ pages, developing a custom app surely isn't out of the question? Or licensing an application such as Xstandard? The original list of editors has been reproduced below for convenience...
