Is there any open source low level web based editor ?
(I'm aware of wysiwyg editors like CKEditor, I'm looking for something different. )
The editor should work in a way like new Google Docs editor.
The editor should take user's input key by key and should build the text. so that the client JavaScript can have complete control while editing.
Why i need it ? I need to build a DSL editor for my application with syntax highlighting and auto complete.
I already found code editor ace http://ace.ajax.org . but it has lots of features that I don't need, so I'm searching for alternatives.
I'm looking for similar lightweight editor, so that I can add my features (like autocomplete ) easily to it.
Have you seen Aloha Editor?
HTML5 and fast too:
http://www.aloha-editor.org/
It's open source there are no iframes and you can access the page contents just as they are.
It's the future of html editors.
There's collabedit:

I am looking for a visual HTML editor script that works in browser basically. Its initial content will be generated from an existing URL and all the changes which will be done by the user, should be exportable in some kind of format. The aim here is reaching the final look later by applying this exported data.
The user here will be non-technical end user. The editor can be similar to WYSIWYG so user can switch between preview and code. The editor should not rely on some kind of special CSS/JS frameworks, it should be able to read from CSS and JS files directly from URL while generating the page.
There are lots of visual editors out there with lots of cool stuff. Some are using drag-and-drop UI elements, some are meant to work just with Bootstrap etc. But so far I could not find something I can use.
So if existing tools are not enough, I need to find a way of generate same result by comparing the outputs.
Beside taking diff of the contents, is there any method for generating the exportable changes for reapplying to initial HTML later?
using diff may actually work but it may generate lots of bugs while working with js frameworks
If you are looking for what I think then.. https://ckeditor.com/ Check this one. I have used this HTML editor in a website. It changes the initial HTML and works like the way wordpress HTML editor works.
I'm making a forum-like website, and really want to implement a WYSIWYG editor if possible because my targeted users are foreign to technical work. Doing something like image upload/display/resize using markups will be too hard for them I suppose.
But after reading here on stackoverflow and trying it out myself, I suppose the WYSIWYG editor I'm using (WYSIHTML5) won't be safe enough for public use.
So come my questions:
Is there any "WYSIWYG editor"-like library that doesn't actually use html markup? Something like stackoverflow's editor (with toolbar and a real time preview box) is acceptable actually.
If there's nothing like that, is there anyway you can think of to implement WYSIWYG editor that can prevent user from doing harm to the server and/or other users? What can I do to ensure that?
If you like StackOverflow's editor and think it will fit your needs, it's called PageDown. You can find the code here.
I need to add a text area that also has line numbering capabilities. I tried EditArea, but I couldn't make it work with text files. It would be ideal if it could highlight syntax for existing programming languages, but that would only be a side bonus.
The main thing I'm after is line numbering for whatever I paste in it. Please only list open source ones.
Try Etherpad, we can configure it to show line numbers.
Etherpad is a highly customizable Open Source online editor providing
collaborative editing in really real-time
Other opensource alternatives CodeMirror and Firepad
Firepad is feature rich, built on Google's Firebase, so no need to setup a server
I am after a JavaScript Rich Text Editor that supports highlighting words and triggering events when those highlighted words are clicked, like what Gmail does when in spellcheck mode.
I will need to heavily customize any existing solution, so something that is easy to extend would be ideal. Currently I am leaning towards TinyMCE.
Richtextbox or HTML?
If it is HTML, then you should stick with TinyMCE. :
It's (very) easy to integrate
It works across browsers
The toolbars were easy to modify
Wordpress uses it!
For what its worth, we also looked at FCKEditor but preferred TinyMCE
UPDATE: While some users wanted it, spell checking has never been on the "essentials" list. It has always been quicker / cheaper for us to teach the handful of users how to use the spell checking features of IE, Firefox or Chrome instead of putting it in the editor.
Imagine trying to code the 3 been soup example!!!
TinyMCE seems to be the best one these days. You might want to take a look at FCKEditor and HTMLArea as well. You can find a list of such WYSIWYG HTML editors here.
I am intended to develop a rich input textarea similar to Google mail. Any ideal or resource to share? Thanks in advance!
My suggestion is to use TinyMCE it is a great Rich Text Box. Yahoo also has a really great Rich Text Editor (which has been deprecated).
These are not textareas, btw - they are IFRAMEs holding full HTML managed by the editor code. I also recommend FCKeditor - very configurable and easily integrated. You can write your code using textareas, make a javascript call and those textareas go hidden and the IFRAME gets injected in place. Upon submit the html gets copied back in the textarea. so really don't need to do much...
I am not sure what google uses, but I've used FCKEditor and it worked out great.
Look at the ContentEditable tag. And also have a look at Squire on gihub which is an open source rich text editor that is very lightweight and flexible (used in opera's mail client)
The editors given in the other answers are very heavy and come with their own (outdated, bloated) UI components.
