WYSIWYG-ish wiki

One project is to take our WYSIWYG editor and adapt it to generate Wiki Syntax instead: WYSIWYG Wiki

This is a related but different project. Both projects are not mutually exclusive. We should aim to do both.

Related: Why Wiki Syntax is Important

The first part of WYSIWYG-ish wiki was done in Tiki4 as described at: http://ui.tikiwiki.org/Text+area+editing+helper

Phase 2 of the project is developed below:

More clearly segment wiki vs html pages


Regular use is to use either

  1. html pages (CKeditor)
    • no backlinks
    • no wiki syntax, etc.)
    • uses HTMLdiff by default
  2. wiki pages no CKeditor


and only editors can attempt the round trip (tiki_p_convert_to_wiki_syntax) since this is tricky and may need cleanup

AJAX dynamic preview

This is part of Tiki5

WYSIWYG in mini-zones in a page


Ideas from MediaWiki's WYSIFTW

Benefits

  • WYSYWYG editor support in Tiki would be just as good/bad as any other CMS that uses CK Editor
  • Wiki syntax pages are still available for use cases that require it
  • AJAX preview is a middle ground

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
