Although it doesn't offer a true WYSIWYG display, it does provide a
LIVE key-by-key rendered **preview while editing**, which can be very
instructive when you are just learning TW wiki-syntax, since you can
immediately see the effect that each formatting character has on the
rendered results.
plus... for people who ARE technically-minded, the preview display can
also show two alternative views of the tiddler content: a "DOM tree" of
rendered elements, and an "HTML source" view that shows the browser's
**generated** interpretation of the rendered DOM elements, as if they
had been created from HTML source instead of TW wiki-syntax source.
This can be very helpful when trying to determine why things sometimes
render differently on different browsers, since you can directly
examine what each browser thinks is the appropriate HTML equivalent to
the wiki-syntax you entered.
enjoy,

Does a nice simple job of formating what ever you have highlighted.

HTMLAreaPackage includes the htmlarea editor hijacked by Peter Jipsen
and a normal TW plugin named htmlareaPlugin.js (a few codes cleaned-up
and reworked for running compatibly with TW2.1). So, you can easy to
install the package on your TW.
Actually, it works well on TW and ccTiddly under Fx1/2 and IE6.
You can download the HTMLAreaPackage from
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=150646>.

The htmlarea editor generates HTML markups.
Actually, the *<html></html>* will be added around the contents of
tiddlers edited by htmlarea editor unless those tiddlers contain any
tag name starts with *system*, for example, "systemTiddlers* or
*systemConfig* etc.

Each button on the toolbar of htmlarea editor *runs* an individual
functionality, I think that
the plugin you remembered is WIKIBAR.

associated tiddlers and gave them the appropriate tags (copied and
pasted directly from Eric's page), but it doesn't seem to be working.
Perhaps the new toolbar is conflicting with another toolbar I installed
a few weeks ago and therefore isn't showing up when I want to edit?

TidIDEPlugin doesn't automatically replace the existing tiddler editor.
To do this, you need to rename TidIDEEditTemplate to just
"EditTemplate" Of course, if you've customized your EditTemplate, you
may want to 'merge' the two definitions.
HTH,
