WYSIWYG Editors for JSPWiki#

There are two WYSIWYG editors that are currently available for JSPWiki.

• FCKeditor (officially supported) - pages will be edited in html but will converted back to wiki markup prior to saving. Allows the preservation of nearly all JSPWiki markup and features.
• TinyMCE (not officially supported) - pages will be edited and saved in html. This means all wiki markup will be lost upon saving. Other disadvantages are the loss of certain JSPWiki features such as ACL & plugins.

Other Editors for JSPWiki (non-WYSIWYG)#

• WikiWizard (no longer included as of JSPWiki 2.8 due to Apache re-licensing) - Java applet editor. Can be described as a Wikiwyg editor or a WYSIWYM editor.
• Javascript-enhanced plain text editors - available in ContributedTemplate such as BrushedTemplate and SmallpieceTemplate2
