The FCKEditor plugin is a very old plugin that hasn't been updated in two years. You should be using the CKEditor plugin that tracks the latest version of FCKEditor, now called CKEditor.

The correct tag that you need to embed the editor is <ckeditor:editor>. You will need to include the <ckeditor:resources /> in the <head> in order to include the Javascript and other static files needed to instantiate the editor.
