Does anyone know how to add a WYSIWYG editor to the forum module? I’d like to allow my users to use the more familiar WYSIWYG instead of the markdown. Thanks for the help!

Most WYSIWYG’s act as a replacement for <TEXTAREA> elements, and implementing them is often as easy as adding some javascript and tag or two to your template wher you want it to be used.
This one’s a bit old but it demonstrates a simple method - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/openwysiwyg/index.htm

Yeah, I get “how” to implement a WYSIWYG. I was more or less inquiring if just replacing the textarea would be good enough.
Does the data from this field go through any special processing? If so, is there a way to bypass that? Do I need to bypass it, or just send straight HTML to the system?
I guess the best way to see is to try it. I was hoping someone had already tried.
Thanks for the dynamic drive link though. I hadn’t seen that one.
