To include in my website I need a rich text editor plugin (javascript) that transforms a normal textarea into a nice simple editor. In the past I've used FCKEditor / CKEditor which is great but a bit too much for my needs (too much code because it has too many features I don't require).

The editor will be used by my website visitors so I want to keep it simple with just a few common options like bold, italic, font-size, font color, a few types of font's and align paragraph.

So I'm looking for a plugin that is, in order of importance:

  • good, simple UI for 'common users' (not admins)
  • lightweight
  • generates proper HTML5 code
  • allows to customize the icons on the toolbar (remove/add features)
  • free for commercial use

Nice to have: active community and easy to understand / change the code in case of need :)

It can be a jQuery plugin or plain Javascript. No plugins requiring bootstrap please (a good one I liked is https://mindmup.github.io/bootstrap-wysiwyg/ but that seems to use bootstrap for styling)

The alternative option is by using my simple Rich Text Editor.

And as you were asked, it was designed to be used in a public text editor such as comment form and/or Q/A form in a forum.
