If it were a WYSIWYG editor, there'd be previews for images. But it seems like it's just syntax highlighting for textareas. Nice project either way, but false advertising.
- calmworm 1y agoI didn’t see an option for images. Am I missing something?
- macintux 1y agoI assume that was the point. The parent commenter feels "WYSIWYG" by definition includes images.
- WA 1y agoI can type text, mark it, click "B" for bold and it works. This is WYSIWYG minus images.
- clippyplz 1y agoWYSIWYG does not refer to the icons in the toolbar, but rather the text itself. This is not WYSIWYG because when I make something bold, I see a bunch of asterisks around it. Still a cool project, but someone who does not understand markdown would wonder why pressing the heading button makes my text into a hashtag instead of making it bigger.
- WA 1y agoI see both. It's bold and has asterisks around the bolded text.
- eviks 1y agoYou see _ text _, but instead of 2 underscores you get formatted text. That's a definitional violation of WYSIWYG editing style
- ricardobeat 1y agoIndeed it is a misuse of the term. An actual WYSIWYG editor would not show any of the formatting markers. By definition a “Markdown editor” cannot be WYSIWYG - you can have a WYSIWYG editor that is powered by markdown underneath though, which this is not.
