EasyMDE plugin #475
Comments
Is there any possible to use a WYSIWYG? I'd like to see a guide or tutorial, Thanks. |
Any update on this? I am very interested in using this software but wysiwyg is a requirement for my needs |
If you can get to Rails 5 and then Rails 6, ActionText may be a good alternative and baked right in. |
Doesn't look like that simplemde editor even exists anymore 🤷♂ Correction - at least at that link above. Found a website here: https://simplemde.com/ |
Looks like there is a maintained fork now: https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor |
Action Text might be a great move, as it's a core rails dependency and also could resolve #44 via its ActiveStorage implementation (image uploads are probably the 1 thing our forum is missing most!) |
@sudara Can Action Text do markdown? Thredded has several markdown plugins, such as for rendering math. I do agree that Action Text is the way to go for WYSIWIG but I'd like markdown to remain an option. |
@glebm Good question. My understanding is that Action Text provides a very basic model that stores the blob of rendered content, and rendering is handled by Trix. It looks like markdown support is a popularly requested feature for Trix, though it's hard to imagine basecamp deciding to build it in.... It doesn't seem like there are hooks to do processing before/after save... I haven't looked at the Thredded side... Is your impression that content storage is too low level for Action Text to be a Thredded plugin, even if it's mutually exclusive with the other rendering plugins? |
I've done some looking around on the web, and EasyMDE is looking like a good candidate for a WYSIWYG-esque editor for Thredded.
