Redactor

The Redactor jQuery plugin transforms regular textareas into WYSIWYG editors, allowing site users to enter and style their text as they see fit.

Redactor was built to be used as a basic rich text editor, yet it has slowly evolved from a nice open source project to an advanced, commercially available, text formatting toolkit.

The editor has seen wide-spread adoption in many open source or commercial projects, being the default text formatting WYSIWYG editor for projects like Pulse CMS, Perch, or Statamic.

If you choose to go with Redactor for one of your next projects, the editor will greatly reduce the time spent formatting text, and make life a lot more easier for both developers and end-users alike.
