I'm looking for a nice / customisable editor to put on a web page for editing scripts for a custom DSL. Ideally with syntax highlighting (and intellisense would be great! )
Anyone know of anything suitable?

oh, and reasonably simple.... I'm imagining a "hey, I used X, was pretty simple to use, just did blah and was done" :-) I'm googling around and theres lots of weird and obscure ones out there, I'm really looking to shortcut having to try lots out.Keith Nicholas– Keith Nicholas2010-01-25 21:40:14 +00:00Commented Jan 25, 2010 at 21:40

maybe you should have a look at codemirror:
it's "just" an editor-component and you will probably have to put some work into it. but it's easy to enhance and integrate it.

You should take a look at Bespin. You have a good description here: http:// mozillalabs.com/bespin/2010/01/15/bespin-embedded-0-6-released-now-in-two-great-flavors/
It has a full support for being embedded. See the embedding doc : https:// bespin.mozilla.com/docs/embedding/index.html
You can write a custom syntax highlighting plugin pretty easily if needed. You can probably fork and adapt one of the built-in syntax highlighters. The editor itself and its plugins are written in Javascript.
The project is aimed at being a complete web-based & collaborative code editor, so intellisense-like features should make their way in soon if they're no alreay present.
