html editor for cms

hkim

hello,

I am building a cms for a newsletter database. I have a posting page where writers can write their articles and submit it to the database. My problem though is the text just gets stored ignoring all the new paragraphs and such.

So is there a way to create an html editor like phpBB forum or wordpress so people can post without knowing html tags?
I have a theory it has something to do with grep and regular expressions but i'm a newbie so i'm not sure.

you just need to install a rich text editor, such as tinymce.

FCKEditor is another good choice.

http://www.innovastudio.com - $69 for a royalty free license that can be used in a distributed application/framework.

I personally love their WYSIWYG editor - I was able to customize it to spec as I needed a lot of custom functionality for my application.

DevEdit is good too, although much more expensive.
