I feel that rich text is sadly something our trade has mostly just given up on. What's in vogue? Still HTML, which is IMO a really really sad state of affairs, since there's basically no way you can cleanly map between HTML and a wysiwyg editor. The simple question of "where is the cursor?" is almost impossible to answer in the general case.
- espadrine 11y agoThere is a recent wealth of new Web-based rich text editors. ProseMirror, Basecamp's Trix, FastMail's Squire, Guardian's Scribe, Summernote… Even old ones such as CKEditor plan on updating their engine: https://medium.com/content-uneditable/ckeditor-5-the-future-of-rich-text-editing-2b9300f9df2c#.gt4uibrtr https://medium.com/content-uneditable/ckeditor-5-the-future-....
- m_mueller 11y agoIt's certainly good to see some development. I remain skeptical however, until we have an OSS editor available for production use that internally maps (and requires storage) to a sane data model (!=HTML).
