CKeditor

Still needs a little work tidying things up to the current version of ckeditor

CKeditor is a rich text editor. This means, input areas for content will look like an Office program. Users mark some text, then click on a button B or hit Ctrl+B on their keyboard, and instantly see the marked text bold. It is browser independent, written in Javascript, and released as Open Source by fckeditor.net. Alternatively, you can use TinyMCE, another rich text editor that can easily be integrated with Bitweaver.

Split

TODO - Check out plugin
The Split plugin gives you a button that will insert a split tag:...split... into your content. This is good for blog posts and articles where you want to easily define a read more section. Now your users don't need to know how to use ...split... they can just click the "Insert Split" button, which includes a hover tool tip letting you know it is for adding a Read More section.

config.toolbar_Beginner = [
    [
