Rich-text input (not textarea) plugins [closed]

Question

There are plenty of rich-text editors out there, but I'd just like to add some bold, italic, and underline capabilities to a one-line text input. Are there any plugins already available for this? (preferably jQuery, but any work)

Answer 1

Googling gave me these guys:

• A light weight RTE jQuery Plugin: http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/posts/2007-09-11-1/rich-text-editor-jquery.html
• markItUp! universal markup jQuery editor: http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/
• WYSIWYG jQuery Plugin: https://github.com/akzhan/jwysiwyg

They all are quite basic but powerful and you can adjust its size to almost one line.

EDIT: Otherwise use bbcodes as j08691 stated.
