I want to create a rich line editor (line editor not text editor, in other phrases a text editor that can edit a single line).
My idea is i done this with a content editable DIV.

HTML

<div id='richLineEditor' contenteditable='true'>
</div>

But please give me some offers and ideas.
My basic line editor should have some properties like bold, italic, underline buttons. And three buttons for sizing (small, normal, large).
Please tell me how works the core of these text editors and what architecture have.

Thanks in advance

Look out if there are any open source available for the same. Go through their documentation and code. That should help a lot.

I just Googled[^] and found textroom[^] is one of them.

Thanks, But these codes and documentations are a bit complex for me and i can not understand them. I want a simple basic idea for these text boxes.

Even in that case you can start by searching Google for 'add formatting buttons to textarea' (or something like that). You will have to do some basic research on the web. Once you have basic idea, start with the project and come back here if you face any issue.
