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
What sort of integration would be needed to put in WMD?
It looks like it would need to be aware of some plugin/wikiword behavior
... perhaps taking a Wikiword and making it appear like a link in preview, but
with a different style (perhaps diff color/font). For plugin commands,
applying a 'real' preview would probably be difficult, so it'd probably
be necessary to insert some sort of placeholder, perhaps by outputting
the text in monospace form w/ a lighter font to denote that it won't
directly be shown in the page... -- [[harningt]]
