WYMeditor is anopen-sourceWYSIWYMtext editor written in theJavaScript programming language for editing content on web pages. It is based on thejQueryJavaScript framework. It differs from other embeddable text editors such asFCKeditor andTinyMCE in that it concentrates on the semantics and meaning of content leaving out visual details.[1][2] UnlikeWYSIWYG editors, it explicitly shows theXHTML structure of content to the user.[1][3][4]
Presentation and visual coherence is added usingCSS which is either provided prepackaged, or can be customized.[5]
WYMeditor is web server agnostic meaning it can be integrated into web pages built with any server side language.
Although lacking in some areas, WYMeditor statedly has more readable and cleaner source code. The opposite is often said about its competitors.[6]
