1.4 Online Html Editor:
Using online software gains a
inertia in recent years. All the online editors are featured by the
open source tradition of internet and released under various kinds of
free license. Among them the CKEditor is the most popular one and the
developer also offers a commercial license to those corporate customers
adopting a policy forbidding the use of freeware.

Ckeditor
is not
exactly an online editor. It work within a web-page so it it designed
for web-developer. We feel that this is an excellent WYSIWYG editor,
very close to a conventional html editor. For many companies and
products, Open Source licenses are not an option. Thus a commercial
license, the Closed Distribution License (CDL), has been introduced. |
