WYSIWYG Editor in Windows Forms Applications - Leveraging TinyMCE

Recently I was tasked with working on creating a version 2.0 application for an internal tool we use at work. We have a team that creates web content for our clients and this application allows them to compose that web content. In the redesign, we decided it would be fantastic if people could use a simplified HTML editor to generate content for the prompts and various information we output on the web pages. Currently, individuals are required to know (read: ask others for help) the HTML and it makes for a frustrating experience in using something that doesn’t actually expose the HTML to the end user. Those who are using the app shouldn’t be required to understand block elements or how to open a link in a new window. It should be painless and inputting that content should be fast.
