History of CKEditor

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 ckeditor.com. Alternatively, you can use TinyMCE, another rich text editor that can easily be integrated with Bitweaver.
