Shiny!

I have found Nerdvana - a Javascript WYSIWYG editor that looks good, works well, and supports Safari and Opera.

It's called SPAW, but I won't hold that against it.

Downside - of course there's a downside.

A lot of the functionality is wrapped up in back-end PHP code, and I'd have to rewrite all of that.*  But that doesn't look to be overly difficult; it mostly seems to be configuration options and language support, so I can throw up one or two configurations and English-only to start with.

And it costs €250 for an Enterprise license.  But I can start with the GPL version: Since Minx is a hosted system, and the application itself is not distributed, I can do that.  At least, I think so; and if not, I can do a proof-of-concept with the GPL version and then buy the license once I know it will work.

Mootools - the AJAX library used in Minx 1.1 - also works across Firefox, IE, Safari and Opera.  The only other browser-side thingy I'm using is Flash, which again works on all major browsers.

So yay!

Update: Bum.  It generates hideous standards-based HTMLCRAP.  <span style="font-style: italic;"> my arse.

* That or set up a PHP server for the editor, which is also a possibility.
