Hi all,
This is something I've been tinkering with for a bit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g9svwrlvf839z9f/device-2014-06-04-085320.png
IMHO, the Wiki markup syntax can be quite daunting for new editors, and when editing articles with a lot of markup, the edit window can look like a cacophony of symbols.
In lieu of a full-blown VE interface, I propose implementing a minimal form of "syntax highlighting" that will at least guide new editors on the usage of Wiki markup, and might even help experienced editors double-check what they're adding without requiring a preview.
What does everyone think of this?
