I'm looking for a "simple" RTE editor for a MVC application I'm programming.

The editor running the Stackoverflow message editor is almost exactly what I'm looking for. We don't need anything as fancy as FCK's editor.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. Tom

Telerik makes a decent set of .Net controls, including a WYSIWYG editor. Think you have to pay for the full version though...

Telerik RadEditor

Don't think .NET controls would be much use for MVC...

It may not be the *best* choice, but Telerik does support MVC.

I have personally used FCKEditor on ASP.NET MVC with great success. An excellent editor, highly customisable. So as you don't need anything as complex as FCK with its defaults, you can strip it down to bare-bones.

There's also ckeditor - which is the next iteration of FckEditor - http://ckeditor.com/

Stack Overflow uses WMD Editor. When you say 'almost exactly what you're looking for', what other features are you after?

Nick
It has the formatting features I need, but I need it to be a fully WYSIWYG editor.

In that case I'd probably go for FCK then - as David points out you can strip out anything you don't need.

TinyMCE -- you can customize it to show as few or as many buttons as you want.
