I’m researching this subject for an upcoming session. For this session, I wanted a screenshot showing the abominations made possible by too many Rich Text features.
Here is what I came up with…
I’m using TinyMCE, but it could’ve been almost any WYSWIYG editor. The plethora of features provided (absolute layers, emoticons, etc.) provide more than enough rope to hang yourself. It’s also fascinating that many CMS’s leave all of this stuff enabled.
It’s not surprising that non-technical content authors hate their Rich Text editors.

What about you? What Rich Text (WYSWIYG) features have you found to be deadliest in the hands of end-users?
