<div dir="ltr">Hi, what about the ability to copy/paste from other sites and applications? This seems like a key advantage of using a rich-text editor and HTML. Although I'd say some markup syntaxes are pretty widespread and almost as useful as HTML (MediaWiki, etc).<br>

<br>
The assumption is that "end users" care about usability and developers are geeks.<br><br>Okay, I'm a geek too. But I've tried to get some perspective on this as an educator (that was two careers ago), and I actually think the UI for WYSIWYGs is less usable, typically, than the UI is for an HTML helper like Marksmarty.<br>
<br><a href="http://blip.tv/file/1170327" target="_blank"><b>So I made a screencast comparing the too</b></a>. I tried to get a bit funny, whether I succeeded is another matter. Also, I got burned out with iMovie at the end the production values kind of tank at the end.<br>
<br>It's 7 minutes. Leave a comment on Blip, or here. I'm curious as to what you think of the screencast AND to know about whether you try to convince clients to NOT use a WYSIWYG.<br><br><a href="http://blip.tv/file/1170327" target="_blank">http://blip.tv/file/1170327</a><br>
<br>And of course, if you think the video might help you explain all this to your clients, do indeed pass on the link.<br><br>Shai<br></div>
