Is there an Open Source text editor which can be inserted into a web page. Something along the lines of html textarea control but which can be formatted by user. Rather like the one I am typing in now.

CKEditor and TinyMCE are two popular ones, but there are many. I'm not sure of the licenses on those two.

TinyMCE is a version of WYSIWYG editor. You may be able to find some good resources if you look up WYSIWYG. Versions range from basic, like the one we use to post all the way up to MS Word style. Check it out.
