Enhanced text edition on wordpress

For a while now I’ve been trying to TinyMCE’s wordpress tool bar without much success. Looking for documentation on the subject I came across Wordpress Rich text Editor plugin, which works with TinyMCE allowing Wordpress to do a lot more things in terms of text edition, for example:

• Adding Colour to texts
• Changing background Colour
• Bold Italic and Underline
• ^Superscript and _subscript
• Inserting Special characters (¥€¢µ≥≤Š)
• Changing Font Size, font family
• As well as changing indents, adding horizontal rules, anchors, images, search and replace, and other neat stuff.

If you are interested in it’s functionality, read the documentation, since you need to drop files in a couple of folders, not just Wordpress’ plugins folder.

Only downside so far is that while using the blog on 1024 x 712 the main text input area extends bellow the left bar on wordpress.

Nice to see that Michael Bergman came across some of the same issues I faced, but he was able to solve them!
