Is it possible to limit the content editor webpart, like you can with pagelayout rich text fields. For example I want to limit the use of inline styles, fonts, colors etc. Are there any alternatives to the content editor webpart, which can accomplish this?

Additional info: The webpart is to be used on a publishing page and I do not want to limit the functionality of the publishing fields.

Have you tried simply to hide corresponding buttons using ribbon customizations?

Update:

Sample code:

<CustomAction
 Id="RemoveButtons"
 Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
  <CommandUIExtension>
    <CommandUIDefinitions>
      <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.EditingTools.CPEditTab.Styles" />
      <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.EditingTools.CPEditTab.Font.Fonts" />
    </CommandUIDefinitions>
  </CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>

And here is what i've got after deployment:

after customizations applied

You should also specify RegistrationType="ContentType" and RegistrationId="your-ContentTypeId-Here" attributes in CustomAction element, if you want to apply this only for pages of your content type.

This should also work for sanboxed solutions.

No, but I do not want to hide it always. Just for content editor webpart. – HaavardMeling May 10 '11 at 11:14
Hmm... Do you have fixed number of pages, where the content editor webpart functionality must be cutted, or users could add a content editor to some new pages? And also, what kind of pages do you use? Webpart pages? Wiki pages? – Andrey Markeev May 10 '11 at 12:38
It is a publishing page with webparts. – HaavardMeling May 10 '11 at 12:55
Ok, so what you can try to do is to create a document content type, based on WebPart page, and then create a custom action for hiding the ribbon buttons you don't need to be shown, and bind this custom action to your new content type. – Andrey Markeev May 10 '11 at 13:25
I've updated my answer with sample code. Please, try this. – Andrey Markeev May 10 '11 at 13:34

Basically what I ended up doing was to use the InputFormTextBox() like shown here: http://karinebosch.wordpress.com/sharepoint-controls/inputformtextbox-control/

I used this technique and put it into a custom EditorPart for the webpart. The content is stored in a property of the webpart and edited in the webpart property pane.
