Just recently, I was able to make a complete blog for my website in php where users can comment on my blog posts. All they can really do right now is just respond with plain text unless they know html. I want to be able to make users respond with options such as: bold text, italic text, add multiple images, add links, and add code segments. I want to pretty much replicate what Stackoverflow uses for their comments (but not as complex). Does anybody know how to do this or point me to resources that can help me out?
Yeah you have to implement some sort of WYSIWYG editor to your site, theres a bunch out there...
Markitup is my favorite...

MooEditable
Some good embed-able WYSIWYG editors are:
