1. WYSIYG module (and Library - see WYSYIG topic)

2. Insert Module – so we can insert images into parts of text using WYSIWYG
http://drupal.org/project/insert
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/insert-7.x-1.3.tar.gz
Then need to go to the content type, manage fields, and you have a new insert option (and click enable insert button)

I am not sure this is best, but it is what this forum uses, and has many advantages over the core forum
8. Subscriptions module

http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/comment_goodness-7.x-1.4.tar.gz
(Allows sorting of comments from new to old, and also appears to allow you to hide the comment form as a link)
11. Lexicon module
(for development site, probably not for class site). Although it would be nice to have more granular features
http://drupal.org/project/lexicon
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/lexicon-7.x-1.10.tar.gz
- To get to mark up text you need to go into the filtered text options (full html/filtered…)
- If you want people to see the definitions as a page, you need to set permissions.

*** There are conflicts here. If you automarkup, it goofs up the emails. This issue involves the text editor.
