Purpose & History

WMD Editor was good in that it provided a simple interface to slightly richer-text editing. It, however, came with it’s fair share of limitations:

• It didn’t like being loaded dynamically (say, via AJAX.. ok there were some forks that fixed this)
• It didn’t like more than 1 instance on a page
• It didn’t like customization
• It didn’t have an open API
• There wasn’t a whole lot of documentation for it

Enter MarkEdit.

Project Status

Project is 100% functional, but still needs a lot of testing. The following browsers are not known to have any functional issues. There are a couple very minor display/css issues on older versions:

• Internet Explorer 6/7/8 for Windows
• Firefox 2+ for Windows
• Safari 4 for Windows
