Mookai, I use TinyMCE (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/). It's not without quirks but it is useable.
You should include js in your model like that: class META: admin = meta.Admin( ... your admin parameters ... js = ( '/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', <-- path to TinyMCE '/appmedia/admin/js/textareas.js', <-- path to your file ), ) textareas.js is defined like that: tinyMCE.init({ mode : "textareas", theme : "advanced", //auto_resize : true, auto_cleanup_word : true, plugins : "table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,insertdatetime,preview,zoom,flash,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,fullscreen", theme_advanced_buttons1_add_before : "save,separator", theme_advanced_buttons1_add : "fontselect,fontsizeselect", theme_advanced_buttons2_add : "separator,insertdate,inserttime,preview,zoom,separator,forecolor,backcolor", theme_advanced_buttons2_add_before: "cut,copy,paste,separator,search,replace,separator", theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before : "tablecontrols,separator", theme_advanced_buttons3_add : "fullscreen,emotions,iespell,flash,advhr,separator,print", theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top", theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left", theme_advanced_path_location : "bottom", plugin_insertdate_dateFormat : "%m/%d/%Y", plugin_insertdate_timeFormat : "%H:%M:%S", extended_valid_elements : "a[name|href|target=_blank|title|onclick],img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name],hr[class|width|size|noshade],font[face|size|color|style],span[class|align|style]", fullscreen_settings : { theme_advanced_path_location : "top" } }); I wanted to convert all textareas using almost all plugins, which didn't require server part. Your settings could be different --- just follow TinyMCE's docs. A small note: I didn't change size of textareas, so after all toolbars I have a very small window for actual text. I don't mind it because I prefer to use full screen mode anyway. Sometimes I type text in stand-alone editor (like Word) and paste it to TinyMCE. But if you want to make it bigger, just follow http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/admin_css/ and change the height of textarea in question.
