wysihtml is an open-source, dependency-free rich text WYSIWYG editor for the web, forked from xing/wysihtml5. It generates valid semantic HTML5, sanitizes pasted content, and uses sandboxed iframes to prevent XSS.
Use cases
- embed a rich text editor in a web form
- let users write formatted HTML content in a CMS
- sanitize pasted content from Word into clean HTML
- build a comment box with bold/italic/heading formatting
- replace a textarea with a WYSIWYG editor without jQuery
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, library-agnostic editor with no jQuery dependency
- you require valid semantic HTML5 output and paste sanitization
- you need XSS-safe editing via sandboxed iframes
- you want modular extensibility with custom parser rules
When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively maintained editor - the latest release is from 2019
- you need collaborative editing or advanced rich-text features like tables in the default build
- your project uses a modern framework where a React/Vue-native editor fits better
