[Phpwm] wysiwig editor

Thu Mar 5 12:30:06 UTC 2009

I always recommend people just paste the copy into Notepad first, then
copy+paste from there into the WYSIWYG editor, and use the builtin
formatting tools to get ot to display as required. Takes a little more
effort to train them up but saves so much time long-term.
