There are many possible editors. In some cases, it's possible to switch between them.
Editor | Notes |
Tiki syntax | Rock-solid textual syntax |
HTML WYSIWYG CKEditor4 | CKEditor4 is no longer supported. CKEditor is designed for HTML. Until Tiki28 |
Wiki Inline Editing | Preference name: wysiwyg_inline_editing |
Tiki syntax WYSIWYG CKEditor | Less reliable but nice when it works because it maintains Tiki syntax instead of HTML when possible. Preference name: wysiwyg_htmltowiki |
Tiki-Flavored Markdown with TOAST UI Editor | Beta quality. The TOAST UI Editor has not seen activity in over 2 years. Offers side-by-side text editor and preview vs WYSIWYG. |
HTML WYSIWYG Summernote | Summernote is designed for HTML. Starting in Tiki29 |
Tiki-Flavored Markdown without TOAST UI Editor | This needs to be added to Tiki |
Things to watch out for
- Version history: Some editors will make version comparisons difficult (phantom edits, different output for different browsers, etc.)
- WYSIWYG editors are designed for HTML or Markdown. It's less reliable to add content that goes beyond what editor is designed for like Wiki Plugins
- HTML WYSIWYG permits for flexibility for page layout
- Tiki syntax (especially with Wiki Plugins) permits cleaner content and more powerful content reuse.
- PluginWYSIWYG is a great way to have a WYSIWYG-HTML editor within a wiki page.
