<br>
<br>To continue the discussion of html editors.
<br>
<br>Recently I came across this editor: <a href=3D"https://github.com/xing/=
wysihtml5" target=3D"_blank">https://github.com/xing/<wbr>wysihtml5</a>
<br>
<br>It is much more lightweight than tinymce.
<br>But seems to miss some things like pre, tables and text direction.
<br>
<br>I would invite you all to test it, and see if might work better than ti=
nymce.
<br>
<br>
<br>About support for markdown entry.
<br>
<br>I really would like people to be able to switch between markdown and ht=
ml editing.
<br>This because I have some customers who have very different editing need=
s in the same team, and I am sure some would prefer markdown and other the =
html editor.
<br>Mixing that will give much confusion in the editor teams (which are loc=
ated across the globe).
<br>
<br>For a good support we need to have Markdown to HTML and HTML to Markdow=
n conversion support.
<br>Where just editing in one should keep that one format as well.
<br>
<br>That means that either we need to make the HTML to Markdown conversion =
foolproof or need an extra intermediate form with both representations.
<br>
<br>Both add considerable complexity.
<br>
<br>An intermediate representation could be:
<br>
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-record(editabletext, {=
 type :: atom(), raw :: binary(), html :: binary() }).
<br>
<br>Where the type can be, for example, 'markdown'.
<br>
<br>We need to support this intermediate form in the same places where we s=
upport translations (that are {trans. =E2=80=A6} tuples) right now.
<br>&nbsp;
<br>Any ideas?
<br>
<br>- Marc
