Widgteditor is a simple replacement for a Drupal text area, with a WYSIWYG style editor.

It’s simplicity makes it interesting, and it is perfect for comments.

It has problems though, and for me it is a non-starter.

Firstly, there is no way (no easy way that I am aware of) for configuring where it appears. For example, I would like to be able to enable it for comments, but not for composing nodes (stories, pages etc.).

Secondly, I do not find it suitable for the article that I post. It is too simplistic. For example, when you want to insert a link, it provides for the link location only. There is no control over where the new URL will appear (same window, or new window for example).

As of this writing, it has a bug in Drupal 5, causing it to appear twice per text area.

If your needs are minimalist, and you don’t want to see any HTML, this editor may be the one for you. If you have slightly more demanding needs, consider TinyMCE or FCKeditor .
