History: WYSIWYG-ish wiki

Source of version: 18 (current)

Copy to clipboard
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: ((tw:Why Wiki Syntax is Important))

The first part of ''WYSIWYG-ish'' wiki was done in ((Tiki4)) as described at: http://ui.tiki.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__
# html pages (CKeditor)
** no backlinks
** no wiki syntax, etc.)
** uses HTMLdiff by default
# 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
* ((PluginWYSIWYG))


!! Ideas from MediaWiki's WYSIFTW
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/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
