I know there were couple discussions about tinymce as an additional choice.
I tried GS with latest tinymce to see if html output code is a bit cleaner.
I found out that it's way greater than ckeditor's output.
Example:
try to bolden text, change its size, then set a color and you will get 3 <span style="###"> tags, while tinymce merges them nicely into 1 span.
The worse problem goes to empty tags and in some cases unclosed tags.
Like <span class="color:#FFF"></span> which I found many times in output code after looking at the progess of person who managed the website.
Is there any chance of rethink the use of other wysiwyg editor(s) ?
I asked couple webdevs what are their methods of cleaning the output after a non-technical user manages pages. Some of them use htmlpurifier or htmltidy to clean up the code.
Some use bbcode to provide a basic wysiwyg editor. Maybe this could be also a solution, to use bbcode with simple editor mode, and ckedit/tinymce in advanced version.
I'd even add a full wysiwyg editor option in gsconfig, with almost all available features.
