Text editors do Even if I think a WYSIWYG editor could help, I (and problably many here would agree) am against its use like it is used in other CMS, because they generally convert to a bad and messy HTML, which make it difficult to reuse elsewhere.
Rednotebook is using a trick I like the most: it's mixing the wiki syntax (it remains educational for people so they can slowly learn the code) with a wysiwyg-like display, so people understand better the code: http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html The wiki code is even greyed so it won't interfere too much with the display, yet it remains visible. It would be really useful for web forms, but I don't know how it can be possible to implement this kind of display as an option.
