Shootout at the WYSIWYG Corral - Drupal

Purpose of Session:
Select the best editor, available through the WYSIWYG Module, for common content entry tasks in Drupal.

Description:
CKeditor and TinyMCE emerged as the leading contenders following initial evaluation of a batch of nine candidates. During this session, we asked for other suggested criteria from the attendees in order to declare a final winner. The list of suggested criteria included:

• Inline Image Handling
• Teaser Breaks
• Insert <HR> tags
• Cross-browser compatibility
• Treatment of tabs in content
• Special character handling
• Insert comments into source code

Though the editors offer similar, robust feature sets and can get the job done, TinyMCE wins by a narrow margin when evaluated against the overall list of criteria.

Who is the presentation for?

• Content Editors looking to publish Rich Text elements within their Drupal site.
• Site Builders attempting to select a WYSIWYG editor.
• Frustrated Developers looking for common causes of WYSIWYG problems in Drupal.
