Is there a decent html editor that works in a browser?

Question

I use Wordpress and I want site editors to be able to write html manually (without wysiwyg). Nevertheless, everyone knows that editing html in a text field without any coloring or other functions of the code editor is difficult. Does anyone know of a solution - perhaps a text area replacement, browser extension, or the like?

There are many wysiwyg editors, but I am specifically looking for a code editor in a browser that processes HTML. It would be a bonus if it handled javascript and CSS.

Answer 1

Duplicate https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1505761/textarea-with-syntax-code-highlighting and Textarea, which can do syntax highlighting on the fly?

Of these threads, a list of lists in HTML editors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript-based_source_code_editors

EditArea, CodeMirror, CodePress and Bespin seem active and capable. Using WMD for markdowns is another option.

Answer 2

Do you consider using Markdown (like StackOverflow does)?

In my opinion, it is very easy to write and format text using Markdown. It is easy to start with WMD , which is the only Markdown java-script editor.

Answer 3

Mozilla bespin is a javascript text editor that can be embedded.

Answer 4

I really like XStandard . It creates the correct HTML (only versions of XHTML), has a realistic WYSIWYG editor, which can also edit the source text directly, and has a free version (which was enough for use, which I put it on).
