Idea:Editor Stylesheet

It would be great if you read the post before posting answers like
that one here. This is a dangerous threadjack ending in a holy war
about editors. My idea is to deal with the issue with products at hand
- we will not get Tridion to change their £200k product editors love
because most WYSIWYG textbox editors fail in one way or another.

Not sure what was hijacked, not on the other list anymore...

I agree, but with a bit of work you can make some editors produce half
decent code, fckEditor was installed on this site and it validates
fairly well, (not perfectly):

I've changed the style sheet, toolbars, and edit area size for the
editor itself so when they type in the editarea it shows up just the way
they see it later. Also added some custom classes for them to change
font sizes etc. and got rid of the old font-size font-color
boxes/drop-downs.

And totally compliant is http://xstandard.com/ - free if you want to
make your own file/image uploading features and a couple others
yourself, and yes, it does do CSS inline or externally out of the box.
hope that helps someone!

cheers,
