[UI] Rich Text Editor

[comtom]

It would be very nice & handy to have a full featured text editor as a component.

There are several examples, like CLEditor or TinyMCE. TinyMCE is one of the most popular, but there are some better like this one:

it has some bugs but is great. I've encountred problems while pasting MS Word styled text, except that it works great.

Any editor you pick, should have Markdown rendering and rich text to markdown capability.
It is always good to store markdown in database than the XSS vulnerable html code !

@javajack "XSS" isn't a problem as far as the editor's concerned. If people want to insert stuff, they'll bypass the editor and make a direct request to the server.

Also, Markdown makes an assumption about the server, which we can't really do. Markdown could be an option, along with other rich text formats. Generally, there's an option to convert basic HTML into any of these formats, which might be the most general approach (e.g. html2markdown for markdown, unoconv converts to mostly everything else).

Most formats are simple enough to convert html to, that an average programmer could write one in an afternoon. I think it's best to leave that outside of this project.

A round trip could look like this:

• request markdown from server
• use pagedown to convert markdown to html
• user edits in the editor
• html2markdown to get markdown back
• send markdown to server

I would be nice to include a very lightweight markdown editor.

@oknoorap Have you been able to get pen editor working? In my case the javascript seems to be working fine but it I can't see the tooltip when I select text in text area.

Coming back on this topic: there are many Rich text editors out there, absolutely
I think the requirement is to maintain look and feel with the rest of Semantic UI (buttons, font, focus, ....)
