Here's the demo, where you can edit some
canned texts (but not actual
Wikipedia articles, yet):

This looks really cool. :-)
What browsers/versions are you targeting?
Out of curiosity, what is making the (un)toggle operations on the
right take so long?
AFAIK this is a known bug specific to WebKit-based browsers.
It
doesn't happen in Firefox.
Actually, it looks like you are marking up
individual lines of text. I suppose that is time consuming. Why is
that necessary?
The edit surface is *entirely* implemented in JS, almost nothing is
done by the browser. Breaking lines is one of the many things that's
done in JS.
Will there be a toggle for editing wiki text directly
(I see wikitext
display is already there)?
We can't implement that right now because the wikitext -> WikiDOM (the
model used by the editor) isn't ready yet.
