Ask HN: which WYSIWYG/Markdown text editor do you recommend?
This is a frequent question, but I think it hasn't been addressed in a while: if you were building an online community like Stack Overflow, Quora, or Hacker News, which text editor (if any) would you use?
- eranation 14y agofor what use? e.g. a desktop one? or an online control? if it's the latter, CKEditor seems like a trending one, and WYSIHTML5 seems the most starred on GH. but not sure I understood your question.
- joshontheweb 14y agonot really sure what your specific needs are but we built http://etchjs.com http://etchjs.com in the absence of finding a wysiwyg we liked.
- swampthing 14y agoPagedown is the Markdown editor that Stack Overflow uses. I've used it - nothing fancy, does the job. http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/ http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/
