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
