Advantages and disadvantages of UBB editor and HTML visual editor

Two years ago, basically all forums and blogsProgramBoth use the UBB editor, but the shortcomings of the UBB editor are obvious. You cannot immediately see the logs you have written. It is not so easy to adjust, in addition, the UBB parser of various programs has different functions. However, the benefits of UBB are also obvious. The program has a strong control over the content and is easy to develop.

In view of the obvious disadvantages of UBB, we have been developing HTML visual editor (also known as WYSIWYG editor) over the past two years. The disadvantages and advantages of visual editor are also obvious, the advantages of the HTML visual editor are as follows: What you see is what you get, and what you see is what you see. You can see the style of the content while editing the content, however, the shortcomings of the HTML visual editor are also very obvious, and the program's control over the content is far inferior to that of the UBB editor. Because XSS attacks and HTML tags must be closed, an HTML visual editor must have a powerful background filter function. Otherwise, the HTML editor will only bring about a nightmare, not convenience.

We hope that Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and opera can have a built-in visual editor. FCKeditor is good and has strong compatibility, but its size is a little huge.

I wrote a visual editor in lower case a few days ago, which is the current Comment editor. I feel that Internet Explorer has obvious advantages. Firefox is a headache when it comes to optical cursor location and segmentation.
