Will need to re-implement all recent editing improvements
This is something that blows my mind. How can we have WYSIWYG editing functionality since the 70's, and when "the web" comes along, we decide to build everything on top of HTML/CSS, which is insanely hard to implement WYSIWYG on top of? Ditto for drag/drop and right click for God's sake.
- plesn 17y agoNaïve question I'm genuinely asking my self: why? What is the reason it is so difficult to implement WYSIWYG not top of HTML/CSS (i kind of feal it thinking at latex,but can't put a reason other than "organisation of the source")? on top of which kind of serialisable representation would it be easier, is there any..?
- ams6110 17y ago'cause HTML was designed primarily as a markup language, not a layout language.
