Hi
I was wondering if I could get a web-based word processor just like the one here on stack overflow, that shows a view of what you are typing in.

TinyMCE has a lot of the same functionality. I think SO wrote their own, though.

You and they are correct. They based it off another editor.

Actually TinyMCE and WMD is quite different editors. WMD is a Markdown editor, meaning you enter plain text, optionally with Markdown formatting syntax, and the editor converts it to HTML for preview. TinyMCE is a WYSIWYG HTML editor, where you are editing the actual HTML, and it then helps the user via some toolbuttons used to apply formatting.

The editor used on StackOverflow is a modified version of WMD: http://wmd-editor.com/

You could use TinyMCE and make a function that gets the content of the TinyMCE editor box and creates a preview below it on every keystroke :)
