Which WYSIWYM editor to use?

I need a WYSIWYM markdown editor for my web application and I heard WMD was the obvious choice.

To my surprise WMD breaks in IE8. What other option do I have, or is there a version that's been tested on IE8 and 开发者_开发百科is compatible?

Check out wmd-new. According to its website:

This version of WMD has been tested with IE 6, 7 and 8 RC1, Firefox 3, Safari 3.2, Chrome 1.0 and Opera 9.6. iPhone and iPod Touch support is rumored to work with the exception of the link/image prompt location. There are a few (minor) known issues with keyboard handling in IE and Opera. See the issues page for more details.

[...]

NOTE

Version 2.0 of this code was developed as a private bugfix/feature branch for Stackoverflow.com and is missing most of the optional features found in the original WMD as SO did not use them. Now that I'm putting this out on Google Code I'll be adding the new features back in v2.1 due out sometime in February 2009. Version 3.0 should be released in February/March 2009 and will a major rewrite making use of jQuery.

EDIT: I didn't notice it immediately but this project hasn't release any source code.

EDIT2: As pointed out by warren in a comment, a "Stack Overflow branch of WMD" is hosted on github. See Reverse Engineering the WMD Editor for more details.

I haven't used WYMeditor myself, but their supported browsers are:

• Gecko-based browsers (Firefox 2.0+, SeaMonkey, Galeon, Epiphany, ...)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
• Opera 9.5+
• Safari 3.1+
• Google Chrome

The version of WMD on derobins' github should work fine with IE8.

There is one listed on the wikipedia page - but I've not used it: WYMeditor

I sugest Tinymce a wonderful Javascript WYSIWYG Editor, with loads of functionalities, and its opensource, it as versions for PHP, ASP, JSP and CouldFusion, multi language, and some others functions, very simple to customize with only the specific functions you want him to enable for your users.

Check out Tinymce website:

EDIT:

I been using it for the past two years never had any problems with it.
