    Comments about CLEditor as an Alternative to openWYSIWYG

    It is simple, editable and well documented and very close to the openWYSIWYG set-up. Unfortunately, openWYSIWYG has some hate against some browsers and it is very difficult to make it work properly with anything else than firefox. CLEditor on the other hand works in any browser I tried - about 6 or 7.
