How do you go about creating the code to make a mini text editor for your forum. What i mean by mini text editor is the Bold|Italics|Upload image etc. that this site uses. I would be using it pretty much the same way this site is using it- to allow people to easily style their posts. If anyone could point me in the right direction or give a quick overview of the concept i would appreciate it.

Short answer is "You don't". Building a WYSIWYG editor is not a simple task - you'll need a good amount of JavaScript and text processing knowledge just to make a basic editor. A much better approach would be to just use an existing solution like TinyMCE. For example, this site uses Markdown and so it uses WMD. |
