One project is to take our WYSIWYG editor and adapt it to generate Wiki Syntax instead: WYSIWYG Wiki

This is a related but different project. Both projects are not mutually exclusive. We should aim to do both.

The first part of WYSIWYG-ish wiki was done in Tiki4 as described at: http://ui.tiki.org/Text+area+editing+helper

Phase 2 of the project is developed below:

More clearly segment wiki vs html pages

Regular use is to use either

1. html pages (CKeditor)
   • no backlinks
   • no wiki syntax, etc.)
   • uses HTMLdiff by default
2. wiki pages no CKeditor

and only editors can attempt the round trip (tiki_p_convert_to_wiki_syntax) since this is tricky and may need cleanup

AJAX dynamic preview

This is part of Tiki5

WYSIWYG in mini-zones in a page

Ideas from MediaWiki's WYSIFTW

Benefits

• WYSYWYG editor support in Tiki would be just as good/bad as any other CMS that uses CK Editor
• Wiki syntax pages are still available for use cases that require it
• AJAX preview is a middle ground
