doc/todo/Add_showdown_GUI_input/edit.mdwn



Add an option to use the Showdown GUI for editing or adding content.
It is BSD-licensed javascript that shows the rendered Markdown (or HTML) while editing.
A demo is at http://www.attacklab.net/showdown-gui.html
(I read about this on the markdown mailing list.)

[[Wikiwyg]] also can provide a nice GUI for editing, although it would
need to be expanded to support markdown. The benefit compared to showdown
is that it provides a GUI for editing with widets for italics, etc,
compared to showdown which still leaves input in markdown and seems more
geared to a fast preview of the html. --[[Joey]]


Since we have semi-working wikiwgy and it's better, I'm considering this
todo item as [[done]] or rather, will-not-be-done..


Given the unfortunate state of affairs for the wikiwyg project, could it
be worthwhile to consider this option again? It seems to have a companion
product (wmd) with formatting widgets and a live preview pane, that is
promised to be MIT licensed as of the next release.... --Chapman Flack
