Froala is announcing that Froala Editor with version number 1.2.8 is already available to download.
What is Froala Editor ?
Froala Editor is A beautiful WYSIWYG rich text editor (RTE) that was built on the latest technologies and according to the latest industry trends .
WYSIWYG are bulky chunks of code that allow users to format text inside their browsers just like they’d do with desktop software like Word or OpenOffice.Most of them work by transforming a simple textarea into a fully-blown text formatting section, with lots of toolbars and buttons to style the contained text.Another way of adding a RTE to a page is to allow users to select text and then show a popup with formatting controls next to it.Both ways are great, but few WYSIWYG editors provide both these editing options, focusing on just one of these editing experiences.Froala Editor provides a solid WYSIWYG editor, working for both of the aforementioned editing experiences, but also offers a pretty solid codebase, coded according to the latest standards and industry best practices.The Froala Editor is one of the few RTEs around with mobile and Retina support, making it also ideal for usage on mobile devices also.Utilizing the FontAwesome icon font for the editor’s buttons, Froala also reduces HTTP requests when loading the editor, improving page load time and providing a much more easier to style editor UI.Everything inside the Froala editing toolbars is interchangeable, developers being able to turn buttons and functionality on or off, or move them around to custom positions as they see fit.All in all the Froala Editor is a very well done WYSIWYG solution, with lots of customization options, documentation and demos included.Froala Editor is available under a dual licensing model. The free version is available personal and non-commercial projects under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License, while for commercial usage, various paid licenses are available, depending on the desired usage requirements. Be sure to read the licensing agreement and don’t get mixed up.
