> Hi,

> To continue the discussion of html editors.

> Recently I came across this editor: https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5

> It is much more lightweight than tinymce.
> But seems to miss some things like pre, tables and text direction.

> I would invite you all to test it, and see if might work better than
> tinymce.

> About support for markdown entry.

> I really would like people to be able to switch between markdown and html
> editing.
> This because I have some customers who have very different editing needs
> in the same team, and I am sure some would prefer markdown and other the
> html editor.
> Mixing that will give much confusion in the editor teams (which are
> located across the globe).

> For a good support we need to have Markdown to HTML and HTML to Markdown
> conversion support.
> Where just editing in one should keep that one format as well.

> That means that either we need to make the HTML to Markdown conversion
> foolproof or need an extra intermediate form with both representations.

> Both add considerable complexity.

> An intermediate representation could be:

>         -record(editabletext, { type :: atom(), raw :: binary(), html ::
> binary() }).

> Where the type can be, for example, 'markdown'.

> We need to support this intermediate form in the same places where we
> support translations (that are {trans. …} tuples) right now.

> Any ideas?
