History: wysiwyg

The first one is what we have in tikiwiki for the blog (htmlarea editor)

In 1.9, it is pretty easy to install the fckeditor. You have to

• download the fckeditor code in lib/fckeditor directory
• you have to set in tiki_preferences 'feature_wysiwyg' to 'y' manually in the database
• check the perm tiki_p_use_HTML under Admin Groups ... Permissions

and fckeditor will appear for html pages.

The second one is the one that every body wants. To be able to keep the wiki code to avoid security problem and dirty html.
A very good summary of the state of art at WYSIWYG_editor at wikipedia
For now (07/2006), it seems that the leader of html editors are tinymce and fckeditor. They both offer button customization / html filtering and both have some wiki converters.
One good example is moimoin, see the demo at moinmoin sandbox
Moinmoin is written in Python. There have still bugs mainly due to the copy/paste from outside dirty html.

Wysiwyg/html is currently available for blogs

A bounty can be certainly open for this feature
