    <p>Over the last couple of days I have been collecting a set of "new era" web editors, that is leaving out FCKeditor and tinyMCE, mainly because they try to make the web Word. So far this is what I got:</p> <p><strong>Text Oriented</strong></p> <p><a href="http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/</a> (used by bitbucket)</p> <p><a href="http://github.com/derobins/wmd/tree" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://github.com/derobins/wmd/tree</a> (used by SO)</p> <p><a href="http://www.wymeditor.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.wymeditor.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/jwysiwyg/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/jwysiwyg/</a></p> <p><a href="http://jhtmlarea.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jhtmlarea.codeplex.com/</a></p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/wmd/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/wmd/</a> (original)</p> <p><strong>from standard JS distros</strong></p> <p><a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.extjs.com/blog/2007/08/01/ext-v11-released/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.extjs.com/blog/2007/08/01/ext-v11-released/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-2-dijit/advanced-editing-and-display/editor-rich-text" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-2-dijit/advanced-editing-and-display/editor-rich-text</a></p> <p><strong>code oriented</strong></p> <p><a href="http://codenode.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://codenode.org/</a></p> <p><a href="https://bespin.mozilla.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bespin.mozilla.com/</a></p> <p>am I missing any?
