Is FCKeditor or CKeditor a CMS?

Neither of those CKSource products are content management systems (CMS). They are WYSIWYG text and HTML editors used to facilitate text area input. Note that WYSIWYG stands for "what you see is what you get". In that sense, these are editors that allow the user to make visual changes to an input area that look the same as (or very similar to) what is being submitted.

For instance, take a non-WYSIWYG editor and a WYSIWYG editor for example and say you would like to make the text "Lorem" BOLD.

CASE 1 - non-WYSIWYG editor

In the non- WYSIWYG editor, the editor would place non-HTML tags around the text and it would become something like this for the viewer prior to submission:

[B]Lorem[/B]

Upon submission, however these non-HTML tags would be replaced by HTML tags and thus, would be displayed as bold by the browser.

CASE 2 - WYSIWYG editor

In the WYSIWYG editor, the editor would place hidden HTML tags around the text and it would become something like this for the viewer prior to submission:

Lorem

Upon submission, the hidden part of what the user sees (i.e. the HTML code that makes "Lorem" bold) is sent and thus, would be displayed as bold by the browser.

A content management system is one which a user can add / change / remove contents and their properties within their website using some user friendly methods that tend to avoid HTML (as the user may not be familiar with it). In this system, when it is required for the user to change a portion of the website that is text, image, table, or otherwise, the WYSIWYG editors come into play and allow them to do just that while staying away from both HTML and non-HTML tags. It also provides an editing interface with much visual reference to work with (which is very useful for inexperienced users).

To that end, the FCKeditor and CKeditor are both editing tools that can be implemented into a CMS system. Generally, the better the WYSIWYG placed within a CMS, the better the CMS. However, the quality of the CMS also depends on its organization, usability and features.

I hope this helped.
