[Mediawiki-l] WYSIWYG editor for MediaWiki

[Andrew Reberry]

I can't answer your question directly as for WYSIWYG editors, but I can tell
you Wiki markup really is not too hard to develop.  I can only imagine that
it is easier to use wikimarkup then it is to work with a WYSIWYG editor.
Here is a page describing some of what you were wondering:

More or less, linking, lists, line breaks are fairly straight forward in my
opinion.  Here is a general overview of how you can edit pages:

I could only assume that it would not be more than a couple hours to learn
the basics of wiki markup.  Here is more info on creating tables in wiki
markup:

Has anyone here implemented a WYSIWYG editor for MediaWiki? If so, what
did you use and how do you like it? The reason is that some of our
writers are still scared to look at the wiki markup.

 

Thanks,
