Then you can use one of the online JS editors like CKeditor.\

Only if you spend an enormous amount of effort making sure that the code is properly cleaned up rather than containing a gazillion random html style tags which you can never reconstruct back into some structured form.

(And yes, my impression is that Massi spent a huge amount of effort in configuring the editor and cleaning up the mess. My company didn't and ended up with sometimes literally every word in a sentence using a different font size or style. They gave up on html + cke pretty soon, but couldn't be convinced that this was a bad idea upfront.)

Don’t exaggerate. Or maybe your company didn’t think about which tags are really necessary. A proper configuration that doesn’t allow nonsense, even if users paste text from Word documents, is not such a big effort. I can’t remember which JS editor I used >10 years ago for the editorial system of a city magazine, but I remember I only allowed a few tags (authors weren’t allowed to use font and color settings) and also run a HTML cleaner before saving. It was an effort until it worked, but not that much. Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
