I used FCKeditor on a clients site - http://www.gablemarine.com/
When installed with the html purifier filter my client can create content that is entirely XHTML strict http://drupal.org/project/htmlpurifier - it helped a lot with sorting Word code too. Only thing is the client managed to build a bit of a mess on the project page when I gave him access to tables lol - won't be doing that with the next client! It was a bit of a pain to configure though as it uses its own caching system but it does a great job now it's up and running.

Combined with filters like Tidy, it's possible to ensure that you don't get non-compliant code being entered. <rant>The biggest issue is the complexity of cleaning up cut-pasted content from MS Word... *that's* a problem. TinyMCE offers a "Paste from Word" function which strips most of the rubbish from Word-produced content, but it's a pain to use... or people assume that anything coming from MS Word is clearly well suited for the web... We spend a lot of time trying to discourage people from using Word for authoring web content, because it's a very poor tool for doing so, but we have a hard time suggesting a palatable alternative (people seem to find the idea of composing content in the actual TinyMCE interface totally absurd, which doesn't make much sense to me...).</rant> Regards, Dave On 27/02/10 07:32, Kepler Gelotte wrote: >> Just spent a day with FCKEditor only to find that there appears to be >> no way to have site CSS appear in the "Style" dropdown, w/o transforming > the >> CSS into XML. > > That is not entirely accurate.
