This means when you’re entering or editing text and/or inserting images and seeing them in the UI, it exactly matches how the final product looks. MSWord and GDocs are word processors, with WYSIWYG (‘What You See is What You Get’) capabilities.Ī word processor user interface (UI) that has WYSIWYG capabilities, shows the end product that’s produced.

There must be a better way.īackground/Part 1 Knowing the core features of a word processor While the time taken ranges from 115 to 220 person-years for a single developer. Our latest calculations* estimate the cost of building just the basic open source components of three leading rich text editors (excluding advanced features and plugins) varies between US$15M and US$28M. Even things that are perceived to be basic, are hard. A development team that’s inexperienced in developing RTEs, generally underestimates the myriad of edge cases across both browsers and functionality. However, rich text editors are exceptionally complex. You can build your own DMS-specific rich text editor (RTE) from scratch and there are numerous resources available to aid that process.

Let’s tackle the two questions most frequently asked by developers and product managers alike, in the context of building their own vs buying components and assembling a state-of-the-art rich text editor within your document management system (DMS).
