    Would anyone be interested in writing an extension that would implement the markItUp! editor?

    markItUp! is a JavaScript plugin built on the jQuery library. It allows you to turn any textarea into a markup editor. Html, Textile, Wiki Syntax, Markdown, BBcode or even your own Markup system can be easily implemented.

    markItUp! is not meant to be a “Full-Features-Out-of-the-Box”-editor. Instead it is a very lightweight, customizable and flexible engine made to meet the developer's needs in their CMSes, blogs, forums or websites. markItUp! is not a WYSIWYG editor, and it never will be.

    Wow! Definitely a nice find. It would be nice to see this do syntax highlighting too. :)

    Awesome find! Looks much better then tinymce or fckeditor. Also BBcode feature is nice, I think it might make a better alternative to BB insert bar. Hope some one takes up to develop this :)!

    This has promise, looks the real deal and claims to be truly compatible.

    Surely there is someone who will take up the challenge, seems the hard part is already done.

    To be honest it's really simple to hard-code it into a theme - you need to include a few .js and .css files. But if everything was done like that we wouldn't need extensions, right? :]

    BTW: if you're looking for a lightweight WYSIWYG editor NicEdit should do the trick. And it's even less complicated to implement.

    MarkItUp and NicEdit are completely separate things.

    MarkItUpIt allows you to turn any textarea into a markup editor. Html, Textile, Wiki Syntax, Markdown, BBcode or even your own Markup system can be easily implemented.

    markItUp! is not meant to be a “Full-Features-Out-of-the-Box”-editor. Instead it is a very lightweight, customizable and flexible engine made to meet the developer's needs in their CMSes, blogs, forums or websites. markItUp! is not a WYSIWYG editor, and it never will be.

    Similar to QuickTags. (Make that better than QuickTags.



    NicEditNicEdit is a WYSIWYG editor for websites. Its goal is to be as simple and fast as possible for users of your application. NicEdit is extremely lightweight and can be easily integrated in any site with minimal impact while providing visitors an effective means to express themselves in rich text.

    Similar to (although much more lightweight than) TinyMCE or FCKeditor or YahooUI




    They both aim to be lightweight at what they do, but serve very different purposes. (Both excellent finds!)

    NicEdit, wow thanks man, that's exactly what I was looking for.

    I thought getting the contents of the comments field to Vanilla would be more complicated than that.

    I will wrap it up as an extension first chance I get.

    @fysicsluvr I know the difference ;]

    I've been considering using the Markdown extension on my forum, but to be honest... without a decent insert bar most of my users wouldn't know how to use the markup (thought it's very simple ant intuitive when you get a hang of it!). So markItUp! seems like the perfect solution. Plus! you can use HTML within the editor while it's set to Markdown.

    Regardless, someone else may not have known...


    I assume NicEdit is standards compliant, and compatible with Safari? (These seem to be 2 issues almost every WYSIWYG editor has)

    The only thing NicEdit is missing, is the ability to upload files :( With that it'd be perfect.

    It's compatible with Safari, their demos work beautifully.

    I wouldn't want people uploading files, linking to pictures stored elsewhere works just fine for me.

    I can't wait to try it within Vanilla.

    So... has anyone had a chance to test this out on their site? (markitup)

    /bump

    Anyone willing to make markitup into an extension for a donation? I'm wanting to replace BBinsertbar+BBcodeparser with Markitup, so I need it to work with BB code.

    Thanks :D

    Edit: would be a nice feature for it to hide radio buttons if DefaultFormatter extension is present.
  15.  # 15
    Doesn't DefaultFormatter hide the radio buttons all on its own?

    I think adding bbcode functionality to markitup is no problemo. (somebody's probably done it before, and they flaunt about how it's compatible with any formatter.)
