It's now been updated to MIT (https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/commit/444bda34c16354ed05c...) as has bootstrap-wysihtml5's


I actually found out about wysihtml5 after poking around in the new basecamp source code. I really loved your design thus why I made this.


awesome! I'd personally much prefer to use markdown for my projects but unfortunately I'm not targeting developers :/


I'm in the same situation. Got a hobby writing app slapped together that has a built in Markdown converter. I want normal people to use it but the idea is to focus on the writing, not the formatting so there's no buttons for WYSIWYG editing. I think I'm the right context Markdown only would work. In my situation I'm probably just going to throw up a short intro to Markdown tutorial for people who want to format their writing. It's okay in my case because the focus should be on words, not formatting and I have a hunch regular folks can learn Markdown within 20 minutes at most for the most part.

shameless plug too, feel free to try my DOM > markdown project. should be easy to get any editor that generates DOM to emit markdown

Inserting images and links is next on the list. https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5 supports them all - I just need to add it to the UI

can you try http://tifftiff.de/wysihtml5/examples/advanced.html and seeing if you see the same issues?


Works better, but it has its share of weirdness. Just by clicking around on a "lorem ipsum" text it seems to work okay in Firefox (beta) and Camino (i.e. two Gecko versions), not at all in Chrome dev (clicking on italic/bold/h1 won't change anything) and if I select a line in Safari to make it a headline, it also applies the transformation to the following paragraph. If I then click "h1" again, everything is back to normal. A third click then works as intended, i.e. only the selected line is turned into a headline. From then on, this line works normal, but the whole game repeats itself if I do it with another line.


I had same issues as mhd on FF 10.0.2 on Kubuntu.

Advanced example works without bugs for me; my test has following HTML output ("So this is <b>the</b> thing <i>then</i>?<br><br><h1><span class="wysiwyg-color-red">Does it always work?</span></h1><h2>If it does then, great!</h2>Or, y'know, not bad.<br><br><ul><li>Yes</li><li>No</li><li>Maybe</li><li>So!</li></ul><h1>Yay it worked!!</h1>").


I have the same issue with the original linked example using Chrome on OSX but do not have the trouble on the advanced.html page.


FWIW I am too on Firefox and I am not seeing any weird behavior. (Beautifully done, by the way. Great job.)


Firefox 11 has the italics issue in both the normal and advanced editor.


have you tried JetBrains AppCode (http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/) - much better than XCode


Thanks to your comment I decided to take a serious look at this. I'm a big fan of IntelliJ so I know how good their other IDEs are.

After working with an existing project for about half and hour I think I'm convinced enough to risk $99 on it. My main worry was that it wouldn't smoothly hand off xibs/storyboards to interface builder but that seems to work ok. Already this feels like a tool that was designed for programmers and not to fit somebody's idea of a shiny interface.


Totally Agree. I'm using it as my main IDE now. Sometime I still have to switch back to Xcode to do thing like with Core Data and Interface Builder, but most of the time I'm staying in AppCode.


what's broken? seems to work for me


Well, I signed up with an email address and a password with special characters in. I got "invalid email/password combination" When I retried with a different password it complained that an other user already registered with that email address.

I then retried with a different email address and dead simple password and got the same.
