Just for the record, I wish to point out just two or three things:<br><br>1. WYSIWYG editors are here to stay (not necessarily in core, of course) and are an absolute necessity for many customers.<br>2. Those customers include "no HTML spoken" administrators.
<br>3. I repeat, administrator != programmer && administrator != person very knowledgeable about Drupal in any way outside of routine admin tasks..<br>4. <span name="KonaBody"><code><font color="#000000"><font color="#007700">
class </font><font color="#0000bb">Admin </font><font color="#007700">extends </font><font color="#0000bb">Non_Geek_User</font></font></code></span> <br>5. Those who use WYSIWYG editors should not use full html input, but should create an adequate button set / html tag set. Also, additional js filters and/or tidy html filters should be implemented, as noted above.
<br><br>A concrete example just the other day, a user/administrator needed a WYSIWYG editor in order to create blocks herself (in this case to make kinds of customized blogrolls). With TinyMCE, she could upload icons and make links without knowing HTML.
<br><br>So even tho they are the devil's own work, they are here and are used by the countless hordes.<br><br>Please do not forget that and put something prohibiting them in administration pages, should someone need that functionality.

<br><br>Unlike the decree above, I was dead serious about adding that note to WYSIWYG editors, especially fckeditor and tinymce .<br><br>They are proven to break other modules and endorse very bad practice, see font tag and other style things that users have nothing to do with -- wymeditor is an exception here (so is quicktags because that's not a wysiwyg editor). They break the 'user input is sacrileged' philosophy -- I know, I was forced to use tinymce for a little while up until one day I needed to reformat some lengthy text where the linebreaks got garbled totally.
