Switching from an editor to another on an existing page

planned

Jeremy Coatelen

As a page editor, I want to be able to select another editor to edit a page, so that I can use my favorite editor on any page.

I'm involved in a project right now where the ability to change between visual editor and markdown or html would make a huge difference for us. We have contributors at various levels when it comes to coding pages, so having the ability for someone to create a page in one editor and another to edit in another editor would be very welcome. I agree with others here, this should be a given. Any progress on this functionality?

David Robert Lewis

At very least some warning about being stuck with your choice of editor when creating the page ...

Jordan Dayton

@David Robert Lewis: Is this what you are asking for?

Jim Bridger

I'd prefer to just be able to force users to use a specific one, rather than let them choose.

Jordan Dayton

It looks like this is being worked on... https://github.com/Requarks/wiki/pull/2190
I don't have any idea of an ETA. Do you have any idea @Regev Brody? Great work on this, btw!
Just curious... how difficult would it be to add a button to the WYSIWYG so that you can toggle, with one-click, between html and WYSIWYG views?

Regev Brody

@Jordan Dayton: thanks! @NGPixel is in control of ETA and I can't get a response from him. About what you are asking should be fairly simple and can be achieved in a different feature request as it is not directly correlated to this one

Regev Brody

please upvote PR https://github.com/Requarks/wiki/pull/1935

Joe Andrieu

Yes, please. Even simply editing the source would be useful. I can appreciate that if the underlying page is html v markdown, switching from WYSIWYG to markdown editing is complicated. However, I can

view

the source--which has helped me identify some formatting errors--but I can't edit the source, which would be the easiest fix for this situation.

Jordan Dayton

@Joe Andrieu: Yes, I'm with you!
We keep running into walls b/c each of the three editors WYSIWYG/html/markdown all have pros/cons. 
If we could just have the ability to "view/edit source html" via the WYSIWYG, that would be perfect. This would allow for the fine tuning we need, like adding custom styles, etc.

Maxime Chambonnet

@Jordan Dayton: would be neat... also contributing directly to ckeditor repo is a sensitive way to go.

Interesting Stuff

This is a crucial functionality imo.

What if I need to edit html text, while I created page with graphical editor?

Switch between WYSIWYG and Markdown

Matthew Dean

I really don't get the feature, and it seems counter-intuitive that I can't switch between Markdown and HTML. IMO the WYSIWYG (visual) editor should simply be, itself, a markdown editor, just displayed visually (a la Github-flavored Markdown). These are not really different formats.
