Update (3/13/2011): this article is obsolete now and preserved here mostly for its historic value. Nowadays I use Dojo’s dijit.Editor as a WYSIWYG HTML editor — it is more functional and much simpler to setup and extend. Read all gory details in Using Dojo Rich Editor with Django’s Admin. I decided to add a WYSIWYG editor to my admin portion of the site. Apparently you can find some nice open source WYSIWYG editors nowadays.

Everytime I need to test a text layout or text style I am typing something like "qwerty" and duplicate it many times to make a paragraph. Then paragraph got duplicated as well. But I am really bored to see qwerty and usually it doesn’t simulate real text properly. To have something more realistic I go to any news site to "borrow" some text. Unfortunately sometimes I have to hunt for suitable text because the one I found has very short or too long paragraphs.

Time and again I create 1st post just to tear the system apart and start all over again. Let’s hope that this time is the last one.
