<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi
jquerians,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>All WYSIWYG editors
i 've used are nice piece of software (FCKEditor, TinyMCE...), yet in real life,
most of my clients end up copy pasting text from word and expect the result to
be the same as their word document.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>One common issue is
character sets (single-quotes, double-quotes among other things) : Word gives
much more easily access to special quote characters which do not live up so
well in their online embodiement: they often end up being replaced by "?" or
strange strings like "Â%²",  </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Therefore, i think
it would be really nice to have a plugin that takes care of </FONT> <FONT
face=Arial size=2>parsing the copy/pasted content and perform character
standardisation for each non-web standard character entity.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=906013016-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>For me, a small
WYSIWYG Editor with much fewer formatting options than the big ones, but more
stronger character parsing would be a winner and a real
innovation.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
