Hi everybody,

I'd like to know if there is any real editor which offers all necessary functionalities for beginners or people who are not very used to the non friendly custom tags.

From my point of view, it's not very easy to have to change colors of text or font family or font size using custom tags. The changing is not rendered directly in the Editor and you must use a preview or publish the article to get the result...

Some of the editors I've tried do not even respect the common formatting you've declared. For example, I've been using a table with pictures in the first line and text under each picture in the second line and I was astonished to see that the text was not aligned under each picture (as if it was centered) without any button enabling to align the text according to your needs.

In a few words, what is really missing is a real word-like editor. I didn't understand why most of the editors have buttons like "bold", "insert picture" but cannot offer other so used buttons like color of background color or left/middle/right/justify aligning.

Maybe my newbie status made me miss some absolutely necessary ways of use and that's why I'm asking help, in order to make my web site more friendly user for the people who will have to work on it day after day.

Many thanks to the people who will reply to this post.
Best regards

It's really what I'm looking for but no answer was given to me concerning this...It would have been so cool to have an online editor which allows everything you need ... but why should we make it easy when it's so cool to make it hard :(

Hi,

I have an extension which aims to make the Online Editor more user friendly. It's very alpha but is being used happily in a couple of production sites:
