TinyMCE

TinyMCE is an open source, freely distributed, web-based, cross-browser and platform-independent software project implemented in PHP/HTML and designed from the offset to act as a powerful WYSIWYG, JavaScript and HTML editor for websites.

Features at a glance

Key features include the ability to convert HTML textarea fields, as wel as other HTML elements, to editor instances, which makes it easy to be integrated with an existing system (only two lines of code are needed).

The software also features support for templates and themes, plugin support, customizable HTML/XHTML 1.0 output, international language support, and support for multiple web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.

Another interesting feature is the built-in plugin architecture that allows users to easily extend the default functionality of the software. All available plugins can be viewed at a glance on the project’s website and are easily installable.

Through plugins, you will be able to create anchors, enable automatic resize of images, add autosave capabilities for the text, add support for BBCode, access a character map, add a color picker, enable a context menu, add support for emoticons, as well as to add full screen support.

Additionally, thanks to plugins, you will be able to insert date and time, to add lists and links, to add media (video and audio), to add preview support, to add paste functionality, to add search and replace functionality, to add a spell checker, to add a word counter, to add support for tables, and to add print support.

What is new in version 3.4 Beta 2:

• New flash player:
• The media plugin has now a new Flash player called MoxiePlayer. This player support mp4 and flv and is used as a fallback player for the HTML5 videos. We will tell you more about this player on the blog later on.
• Contextual mceInsertContent command:
• A common problem has been that TinyMCE would be able to insert block elements like P into P elements and there for producing invalid contents. The new 3.4b1 would later clean that up and split these blocks to produce valid contents. The new 3.4b2 how ever will do this cleanup directly on the container element that you insert the contents to. This also fixes issues with the paste plugin where it would sometimes produce invalid children since it also uses the mceInsertContent command.
• Bugs with scrollbar on IE8+:
• IE8 introduced a bug with the scrollbars since one of our workarounds for another bug would interfere. We have now resolved this issue and there is no longer any jerky scollbars on IE8 or IE9.
• Thanks for all bug reports and feedback on the last beta. Feedback is always welcome.

What is new in version 3.3 Beta 2:

• This release focuses on bug fixes for the previous beta there where a few critical ones but most where pretty minor.
• We are also introducing a new legacyoutput plugin that we wanted to include in the previous version but hadn't the time to add it. This plugin is designed to setup TinyMCE to produce deprecated/invalid output to be used for email clients or rendering in Flash. This is NOT intended to be used for other purposes such as producing contents for the web. Elements like font, u, strike etc are deprecated and shouldn't be used if you still use them please read up on the XHTML and HTML5 specs. These tags where used in the the nineteen nineties.
• Thanks for reporting all the bugs and helping out with the testing. The reports have been very helpful.

What is new in version 3.3 Beta 1:

• After a few months of development it's was way over due to release the 3.3 version but we wanted to get all the planned features in there and make them as stable as possible.
• This release includes the new text formatter engine. This means that applying formats like bold, italic, font size etc will produce the same results in all browsers. It also means that overriding existing formats and adding custom ones is now easy.
• The jQuery support has now been improved even more. We added a new jQuery plugin that Todd Northrop (Speednet) developed and added API integration with jQuery.
• We also added a new advlist plugin this enables you to set the style you want on specific list blocks. Such as roman letters or squares instead of bullets.
• A new autosave plugin is also included. This one enables you to autosave the contents as a draft in local storage on supported browsers. It is an minimalistic version of the tinyautosave plugin Speednet developed as a separate project.
• The paste plugin now has the ability to retain and convert formatting from Word. This feature is not enabled by default for compatibility reasons.
• The safari plugin is now removed since we moved all those fixes and more into the TinyMCE core. The support for WebKit based browsers have been improved.
• The performance especially on IE has been improved a lot. We needed to rewrite the bookmark engine since it was very slow on larger documents.
• We will blog about each of these features to give you more details on how to use them.
• This version is released as beta since it has so many modifications to the core that there might be bugs and issues. But it has been well tested and there is currently no known regressions.
• We want to thank the TinyMCE community for all bug reports, patches and code contributions. And since it's now easier to contribute to this project over GitHub we recommend that you use their service for patches etc.

What is new in version 3.2.7:

• This release fixes various bugs and issues. These fixes includes a table processing bug on IE and various issues with boolean style attributes.
• We have also fixed so script and style elements remains intact when processed by TinyMCE but they will still be wrapped in CDATA sections for XHTML/XML compatibility.
