As of 2025-03-30, this page is just a draft. 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 status|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.
