Giving Your Clients Control Over Content and Forcing Them to Keep it Clean

Of course, by “clean”, I am referring to keeping the HTML clean. One of the biggest problems I run into when giving content control to a client is that they inevitably ruin my beautiful standards compliant XHTML templates by cramming ugly code right into the middle of it.

It’s not their fault. They don’t know anything about HTML and every line of ugly code they are generating is being produced behind the scenes by a WYSIWYG editor. Never fear; there may be a solution. WYMeditor claims to force standards compliant code in an embeddable WYSIWYG editor. Up to this point, I have been using the open source FCKeditor for all of my projects but I am considering giving WYMeditor a try just to see if I can cut down on the ogre code.
