I wanted a text editor like FCKedit to be able to fancy up the articles with HTML and such. It was really tough figuring out exactly what was needed, but the solution so far is Wysiwyg API. There is a development version for D7 here.

After installing that module I activated it and it gave me a screen that listed all the editors that could be integrated with their down load links, and where to place the files.

From the configuration file here I got:

-- CONFIGURATION -- * Go to Administer > Configuration and modules > Content authoring > Text formats and - either configure the Full HTML format, assign it to trusted roles, and disable "HTML filter", "Line break converter", and (optionally) "URL filter". - or add a new text format, assign it to trusted roles, and ensure that above mentioned input filters are disabled. * Setup editor profiles in Administer > Configuration and modules > Content authoring > Wysiwyg.

I had a rough time getting the  settings in Configuration>Content Authoring right for both the Text formats and Wsiwyg profiles. As of now it only works strangely for authenticated users who are not administrators with the Editor test format which I created just for use with editors.
