Have an optional WYSIWYG editor

[anonymous]

Integration of  Wikiwyg or  FckEditor or  TinyMce would be a significant improvement.

This feature should be optional (user decision) and when selected, the system will first detect if the client is using a supported browser to activate the feature.

This feature would speed the adoption of wiki by less technical folks. I would like the default editor to be a system configuration parameter, and also a user parameter.

Yes using a wysiwy editor would be nice. Is there a way to integrate FCK editor for example? That would be nice maybe as a plugin...

See these for great WYSIWYG editor ideas...

 http://traction.tractionsoftware.com/traction - their wiki TeamPage editor has great table support - including the ability to merge and split table cells! (i.e., it supports HTML table rowspan and colspan in the WYSIWYG editor.)

 http://atlassian.com/ - when inserting a new table, the header row has a background color by default. This is a great feature, and makes the wiki pages look great.

BES, you may want to look at the implementation of table markup to be included in Wikka 1.1.7:  http://docs.wikkawiki.org/TableMarkup

Integration of this markup within the WikiEdit toolbar is still to be done, maybe Olivier could take a look at the sites you suggest?

Thanks for the tips, but, it seems that the links you pointed are not opensource tools :

• We release opensource software, so, we try to integrate opensource tools.
• We're not going to develop a WISIWYG editor or plugin, we will just use another licence-compatible open tool, and the task we'll do is just to ensure the interfacing.

Personnally, I've tried TinyMCE, as it seems to be widely used but I'm not very convinced yet. It tends to append some empty tags <a ... /> when copy/pasting part of the code.

Xinha (used in Wikiwig), TinyMCE, (used in XWiki), gwt-html-editor (from Google Document) seems to be interesting. See  WYSIWYG for links.
