[wp-hackers] Using advanced editing in a plugin

[Stephane Daury]

Hey all,

I'd like your opinion on if I'm going at a problem from the right  
angle, or missing something.

I'd like to use the full on editor in a plugin I'm planning, as in the  
post and page views (content textarea, w/ tinyMCE if set for user).

I've found the the_editor() function in wp-admin/edit-form- 
advanced.php and can load the tinyMCE JS libs using the script loader  
functions.

Is there a more direct way? A relatively backward compatible one?
Am I in core territory as far as using the_editor(), or is it fair  
game for plugin dev?

Thanks,
