[support] Question Regarding Wysiwyg Usage

[Steve Kessler]

Hershel, 

I use FCKEditor for all my Drupal sites and it does not need any other
Module besides the FCKEditor and the FCK application that you must download
from FCK to plug into the editor. I am not sure what you mean by Pull Quotes
but FCK does let you define custom styles and buttons so I am sure it can do
everything you need. 

Hope all is well.

Thanks,
Steve

Subject: [support] Question Regarding Wysiwyg Usage

I need to implement a significant set of custom functionality on top of 
a Wysiwyg editor. The basic concept is to allow the user to select text 
and then press a button to define that text as a "pull quote" which is 
then stored and can be used for special display purposes. I will 
maintain a list of icons on the side, one for each defined pull quote, 
and clicking on one will highlight that pull quote within the textarea. 
There are many other details, but I think that's the basic relevant idea 
and you can imagine what other details may be involved, such as making 
sure pull quotes don't overlap etc.  :)

I am trying now to determine which Wysiwyg editor to begin with, on top 
of which I will add the custom features.

I was thinking of using Wysiwyg API ( http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg 
) with jWYSIWYG because I would ideally like to use jQuery, but the 
requirements for the Wysiwyg for this project are:

     * Bold
     * Italic
     * Underline
     * Bulleted List
     * Indent

I haven't run a test yet, but it seems jWYSIWYG may not have indent.

Can anyone who knows a bit more about Wysiyg editors than me provide any 
suggestions? Is Wysiwyg API the way to go or perhaps another Wysiyg tool 
like FCKeditor directly in Drupal without Wysiwyg API?

Thank you.
