RichTextBox: In-browser word processor
I know it’s been quiet around these parts the last couple of months. Flat-buying hassles was part of the reason, but also, an increasing amount of moonlighting work. One project went live this week — the redesign of RichTextBox.com.
My jaw dropped when I saw this utility the first time. RichTextBox is, essentially, MS Word running in a browser, downloading in seconds. Kind of put my own suggestions for textarea enhancements into perspective, and offers one workable solution to getting correctly styled content into a CMS. I wish I’d known about RTB for the last custom-CMS site I worked on. It'd be great to integrate with a blogger; as Moveable Type is a CGI app, and RTB is ASP.NET based, I wonder if this would this be possible?
Still working on several projects after hours, so posting will probably continue to be sporadic for a while.

(HTML is OK. Two linebreaks are converted to a <p>, one linebreak to a <br />. Represent all occurrences of <, >, and & by character or entity references, i.e. <, >, and &.)
