Drupal WYSIWYG editor : tinyMCE

Installation

Fairly simple. Drop in the module. Download the TinyMCE editor from publisher site and drop entire folder into tinymce folder making sure it's named “tinymce”. Enable TinyMCE module.

Configuration

There's a lot of settings so I can see how configuration could feel confusing or overwhelming. Luckily, once you click through the options it becomes more clear as to what all these configuration settings do. Many of the options are checkboxes that will add or remove buttons from the toolbar or enable or disable plugins for the editor.

As with most other modules you can have the WYSIWYG only be displayed on specific forms by limiting the url paths.

Usability

From a user standpoint this WYSIWYG editor is as simple as using a word processor. As long that every single plugin and toolbar option isn't enabled the interface is clean clear and self explanitory.

Clean Output

From what I have seen thus far the markup is very clean. It has an option to use XHTML instead of old school HTML which still uses degraded tags.

Handles Images

Without a plugin you can reference images by providing the image url. There's an ability to override the image size, but the image is only being rendered in the new dimensions not actually resized and stored.
However, the IMCE module is incredible. It's able to create new directories to organize images. It allows you to perform simple task like crop, rotate, flip and scale images as well as align and put borders around them.

Works w/ Asset Modules

Yes, but it's unneeded if you install IMCE module.
