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.
