Wikiwyg
From
http://www.wikiwyg.net/about/ :
Wikiwyg is a Javascript library that can be easily integrated into any wiki or blog software. It offers the user multiple ways to edit/view a piece of content:
- Wysiwyg mode - Simple, HTML, Design Mode editing.
- Wikitext mode - Standard, Wiki, Text Area editing.
- HTML mode - Raw HTML editing.
- Preview mode - Display mode without saving changes.
Wikiwyg allows you to switch between modes, delegating some of the processing to the server when necessary.

The Socialtext wiki as seen in
WikiWednesdays wiki uses this editor. One advantage of this
WYSIWYG editor is that you can switch between view mode / edit mode / WYSIWYG mode almost instantaneously.

I have integrated wikiwyg into TWiki, and it was pretty pointless for anything other than trivial wiki general syntax (bold, italic etc) as it just re-implements the renderer in javascript. Once you get to more complex syntax, you get nothing. There is a suggestion in the code that some Ajax style mechanism is intended to fill this gap, but I have my doubts wrt the long term effecacy of Ajax for this sort of thing - as its usability relies on very fast turnarounds from the remote server - which only works if you have lots of spare server capacity - which TWiki.org does not look like ever having.

ah, sorry -
InlineEditPlugin was originally coded up to use wikiwyg, but as the research continued, its migrated away from that functionality. I'm making a new
WikiWyg to twiki impl this week, adding it to
WysiwygPlugin - basically as a drop in replacement for kupu. I'm not sure if it will be releaseable, but i'll make it public soonish, even if just to show where
WikiWyg is at now.
