What I would like is some discussion about
- if this approach (working pseudo-WYSIWYG instead of unattainable
perfect WYSIWYG) is the way to go
- if the code I wrote would be a suitable basis for a system we can
throw at the general public
- if anyone is willing to help me with that
As always, my code is GPL, and I would be more than happy if, in the end, it would become "official" Foundation code, with staff that supports it. Well, I can dream...
You seem to want to do exactly the same thing as I'm doing, but in the browser only! Maybe you're interested in looking at http://janpaulposma.nl/sle/wiki, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:JanPaul123/Sentence-level_editing, http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-October/050031.html and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sentence-level_editing
Anyway, I have also looked at doing parsing in the browser, which is quite interesting. WikiBasha also uses JS parsing, so maybe it's a good idea to look at that too. Trevor also made a JS parser, but I think it's not in SVN (yet).
