is there a WYSIWYG for Django

[john]

Hi,

I realize that Django does not have a frontend but is there a tool/package that works well for WYSIWYG a simple website?

Try Quill.js. If you google Quill.js and Quill.js Django, I believe
you'll find the Django package that goes along with that text editor.
Really, you only need the Quill.js code for your template. WYSIWYG is
just a user typing in HTML without realizing it. Just save the HTML
(because the rest is escaped while the user is typing).

It's also useful if you escape all instances of a script tag in case
someone inputs an unescaped <script></script>. Your server wouldn't be
destroyed necessarily, but there could be some XSS that you want to
avoid.

Thanks that is a start.  I would also like something that will help with design of the pages/views.

I have used Django Fiber:   http://ridethepony.org/

And several other CMS.  I mostly used TinyMCE.

The world may have moved on.

Thanks Fiber looks better.  But you did say you use mostly TinyMCE.  I can develop the site (it's just as straight forward with some pictures, menu and a few pages) then hand that over to the owners to maintain using TinyMCE??  What about mobile etc...?

That's the plan.  It's what I though you meant by WYSIWYG.  Fiber is nice because they don't have to understand a back end interface; you just edit from the page that you want to change, edit a particular element of it, which client's have an easier time with.  But there still has to be something that lets you edit HTML straightforwardly, and that needs to run in the browser for responsiveness.

Hi I suggest you try out Django summernote. Easy to setup for your admin and frontend

Anytime you have a question of "is there something in django that will do X?", check out https://djangopackages.org/

For example, there is a pretty good up to date WYSIWYG category with possible options

Thanks - that was very helpful - but of course so were the personal suggestions.
