TinyMCE

TinyMCE is a platform-agnostic JavaScript-based rich text editor that can be embedded in web applications to provide a WYSIWYG editing experience. It runs entirely in the browser, typically attached to a textarea or contenteditable element, and outputs HTML that can be stored or rendered on a page. The editor emphasizes modularity and configurability, allowing developers to tailor the editing experience to their needs.

Its core features include a configurable toolbar and skin, an extensible plugin system, and support for common rich-text tasks such as formatting, lists, links, tables, and media embedding. Additional capabilities often supported by plugins include image uploads, file managers, spell checking, code view, autosave, and accessibility options. The architecture separates core editing mechanics from optional plugins, enabling customization without rewriting the base editor.

TinyMCE was originally developed by Moxiecode and has become one of the most widely used rich text editors on the web. It has been adopted by many content management systems and applications, and was the editor behind WordPress' classic editor before the introduction of Gutenberg; it remains a common choice for embedding rich text in custom apps.

The project is distributed with open-source licensing and also offers commercial licensing options. It is maintained with regular releases and a large ecosystem of official and third-party plugins. Documentation, source code, and examples are available from the official TinyMCE site and its GitHub repository.
