Description:

Unlike most WYSIWYG editors, XStandard is not a wrapper built around the HTML editor found in most browsers. Instead, XStandard is built from the ground up as a genuine XHTML editor that directly generates true XHTML Strict / 1.1. XStandard also uses only external CSS for formatting, ensuring the clean separation of data from presentation.

XStandard Overview:

• Plugs into browser-based content management solutions (IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Safari, Opera) and Windows/ OS X desktop applications
• Generates clean, standards-compliant XHTML Strict or 1.1 markup that meets the most demanding accessibility requirements
• Uses only external CSS for formatting
• Supports almost all CSS 2.1 selectors
• Cleanly separates data from presentation, making content easier to re-purpose
• Loads in less than half a second
• Makes applying accurate formatting easy, using "friendly" style names ("Promo", "Description", etc.)
• Manages content in any language (including right-to-left authoring)
• Has powerful editing features: drag & drop images, importing 3rd-party content, custom tags, content locking, support for subdocuments, spell checking, text wrap around images, etc.
• Has advanced accessibility support for images and tables
• Colorized View Source
• A fully customizable toolbar
• A rich API for extending the editor's functionality

The Lite version of XStandard is free, has 90% of the functionality of the Pro version, and can be used in commercial applications. There's simply no reason not to use a standards-compliant editing solution!
