The StackOverflow site uses markdown for markup.
It has a fancy javascript thing for showing a real-time preview of what the user
is editing. It would be nice if ikiwiki could support this, too. The thing they
use on StackOverflow is supposed to be free software, so it should be easy to
add to ikiwiki.
See [[wikiwyg]]. Note that I do not have a copy of the code for that, or
it'd be in ikiwiki already. --[[Joey]]
I just had a brief look at the [[wikiwyg]] page and the link to the plugin was
broken. The StackOverflow site uses the WMD editor,
which seems to be related to the ShowDown
javascript port of Markdown. Interestingly, WMD source
is now available under an MIT license, though it is supposedly undergoing heavy
refactoring. It looks like there was previous discussion ( [[todo/Add_showdown_GUI_input__47__edit]] )
about a showdown plugin. Maybe a WMD plugin would be worthwhile. I might
look into it if I have time on the weekend. -- [[Will]]
