User control asp.net wiki

I am writing an asp.net web application in which I want users to be able to apply simple formatting to the text they enter in textareas.

One possibility is to use the javascript editor wisywig (like tinymce). However, to keep the html text clear and understandable, I would prefer that users do the formatting themselves, just like the wiki does.

I cannot find free or not too expensive control on the internet. Has anyone used third-party controls before? any advice on this?

You can use the label editor like this:

Then you want to show the result in HTML with this:

This is essentially what StackOverflow does (with their customization). They discuss how they do it on their podcast .
