Greetings,
First of all, I'm not sure which forum this question belongs because my code is a
servlet but not my question. So if there's a better place, please move it.
I'm building a web site that accesses a huge ( > 5PB) store of scientific data and makes pretty pictures out of tiny pieces of it. In several places I would like to allow users to attach and/or edit rich text. For example to discuss an image, or create/edit help text to options or displays.
I don't think html is a good markup language for this as mistakes could render a page unusable. We don't need very fancy features but I would like to implement something similar to editor the Ranch uses for posts.
So what (I think) I need is:
A javascript WYSIWIG editor to create or edit the markup textA java class library to turn the markup into html that can be added to a page or contained in a popup dialog
Googling has not produced any good options, yet.
I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions. It's not an emergency, this has not moved from my wish list to my todo list yet.
Thanks,
Joe
