Re: Looking for in-browser HTML/text editors

We are using one called Epoz. It supports both IE and Mozilla.
I have no idea if it can do wat you need, but I noticed it wasn't in your
listing, so you may take a look at it.

http://epoz.sourceforge.net/

There is also Kupu, which is a rewrite of Epoz and is supposed to be nicer.
I haven't looked at it.
http://kupu.oscom.org/


Both are (of course) open source.
