    In looking through the demo I don’t see an HTML editor (WYSIWYG style) that a novice user might work with, it looks like all code or straight text. Am I missing something or is the system intended for slightly more advanced users/content contributors?

    Hi boswebdev,

    EE does not ship with a WYSIWYG editor by default. The main reason for this is that all WYSIWYG editors have a major fault of some sort which makes then perfect in certain situations but a terrible solution in others. Instead of forcing a specific solution with EE we’ve made it possible to run just about any WYSIWYG editor you want. Our wiki has instructions on some of the more popular ones such as TinyMCE.
