Whichever editor is selected, it would be nice if it was extensible to support the following:

1. Custom storage for images / assets (i.e. blob storage on Azure)
2. Custom theme support for styling content based on website theme

Another option is to create a couple of custom packages (modules) with different editors, so that the devs can pick which one they want to use. Obviously more complex, but should be easy to do once we have one built.

CKEditor 5

I have also seen this recently :http://getcontenttools.com/
Interesting live editing feature.

The best alternative is .. Visual Studio, or any desktop app which allows to edit html with decent editing features.
This said, we need a way to inject the html in the targetted object: so a web 'injector' rather than a web editor is for me the way to go.
Just as Orchard do for Blogs.

Old thread, but still relevant me thinks.

I agree, doing this already on O1 and was very easy to implement. Admittedly still using TinyMce but a customised version that introduces additional menu options, such as a chart editor. It would be great if any editor can harvest additional functionality from modules.

Technical requirements aside, I think the key driver is not what us devs want but more what is important to a non-technical CMS user: Short learning curve, easy formatting options, easy adding and inserting images (which get automatically stored in a folder that can be set per content-type, but that's outside this discussion), paste as plain-text by default, better CSS-applied WYSIWYG, spell checking, inserting links with a content selector, etc.

If we want to be able to choose the HTML we want for a BodyPart or a TextField, will we use again the concept of 'Flavor' to easily select the module that will render it?

TinyMce, CKEditor, Markdown and a simple Bootstrap HTML editor would be interesting, coupled with the Live Preview feature.

https://github.com/Alex-D/Trumbowyg is used for HTML
https://github.com/NextStepWebs/simplemde-markdown-editor is used for Markdown

Is it a final decision?

[agriffard]

For the moment, we chose the simplest Wysiwyg editors and the content preview allows you to see the changes easily.

Editors like TinyMce or CKEditor don't have a MIT license so they won't be included in Orchard by default.
As explained in #363 and in the Orchard.Body ReadMe.md, you can develop a module to add a new editor/flavor.

You can add a new editor, but you can also override the default and the WYSIWYG ones. Are they the final ones? Not until one proposes better solutions.
