Drupal WYSIWYG editor : BU Editor

Installation

Very simple. just drop in the module and enable it.

Configuration

Very confusing.
There is a default editor with installation. This default editor includes; bold, italic, ordered list, unordered list, image, teaser, and preview.

To add or create a new editor you use confusing form fields which can accept HTML, PHP, or Javascript. Each new button you create acts as a quick insert into the textfield that you are editing. Example, the paragraph button creates text that follows this markup:
<p>%TEXT%</p>

With this almost anything is possible, but the downfall is that you have to manually build your form editor buttons, which defeats the purpose of having a ready-to-go feature rich WYSIWYG editor.

Usability

Once installed and configured the actions you wold normally use in a WYSIWYG editor are pretty much the same. However, this is not a WYSIWYG editor. When you click a button to set HTML characteristics, the BU Editor places the actual markup into the text area. For you average user who does not understand HTML markup this would be very confusing. A true WYSIWYG editor would display the markup as it would be renderd to the screen without displaying the tags.

Clean Output

The output is very clean because, the administrator declares all the tags and how they get presented in the textfield.

Handles Images

Not great. It has an input for image, but it does very little in storing the image or resizing the image. Images are accessed via a URL address. This means the image you want to use must already be loaded onto your own or another server. If you choose to display an image from an external domain you run the risk of the image being deleted or access permissions on the file itself.

Works w/ Asset Module

No

Cool Features

None

Plugins

None – unless you are really creative w/ writing your own JavaScript or PHP, then you can create your own buttons that handle input or markup.
