Whats the best javascript library for creating a rich text editor? [closed]

My latest spec is to enable the creation of job adverts; so I want basic rich text editing functionality in an html textarea. As far as I can see there doesn't seem to be a clear winner ? So far I have found:

  • TinyMCE seems overkill

  • WMD as used by stack itself (but an emphasis on code so not good for me)

  • markitup

  • htmlBox

Which gets the vote, or am I missing the winner ? I am already using jquery and jquery-ui so anything that smoothly integrates with them would be especially good.

And are any available via a CDN or will I have to download and serve the library for myself ?

CKEditor is a good one too. My company switched to it over TinyMCE because it was a little less buggy. It used to be called FCKeditor too, which led to some pronunciation fun around the office. I'm saddened that they changed it, but of course their reason for doing so is obvious.

tinyMCE is good, and you can choose exactly what options you want to allow the users to use. i don't recomend trying to build one yourself!
