Anthony, thank you for your input. And thank you too, Ross. I did some evaluation in these days. Now I gonna share my thoughts.
elrte and ckeditor and tinymce etc. are definitely feature-riched, at the same time somwhat bloated. Each sizes 135KB, 355KB, 203KB, respectively. (How could this be called "tiny-something"? So ironic.) After I notice the fact that, end user can (and very likely to) copy formatted text from the popular MS WORD document, then paste into any wysiwyg editor, I decide to choose some lightweight editor which only provided some basic features. Oh, I don't need upload-image feature so far. Right now I am happy with the 9KB js jhtmlarea (http://pietschsoft.com/ demo/jHtmlArea/). Another similar option is 8KB tinyeditor (http:// www.scriptiny.com/2010/02/javascript-wysiwyg-editor/), but it is less polished. One caveat. When using such kind of html editors, end user could input javascript code, which I consider potentially harmful. So we will need something similar to this in our model: Field('content', 'text', requires=CLEANUP('<script.*?</script>')) But that is still not good enough. To Massimo, if you are reading this thread, CLEANP(...) should be improved to support this syntax: CLEANUP(re.compile('<script.*?</script>', re.S|re.I)) Regards, Ray On Dec 20, 3:20 am, Anthony <abasta...@gmail.com> wrote: > It shouldn't be too difficult to use any JS editor with web2py, but here > are some web2py specific plugins: > > https://bitbucket.org/PhreeStyle/web2py_ckeditor/srchttp://dev.s-cubism.com/plugin_elrte_widgethttp://dev.s-cubism.com/plugin_managed_html/page1/_managed_html_preview > > Anthony > > > > > > > > On Monday, December 19, 2011 1:23:16 PM UTC-5, Ray (a.k.a.
