Lingo_: We already have markdown.

What I'm trying to decide is whether a visual editor for it makes sense
2016-02-14 04545, 2016
dufferzafar
but even Github added something like it recently, so maybe it does

dufferzafar, I /do/ think that a wysiwyg editor would encourage more people to use md.
2016-02-14 04500, 2016
CallerNo6
How many more people? No idea.

I agree

I think everyone who knows markdown syntax will just type it out
2016-02-14 04559, 2016
dufferzafar
so this is intended for people who are new to it
2016-02-14 04512, 2016

like caller, I am always confused my markdown, what bits mean that and that. '' means italic, ''' means bold. they are too similar. __ does no mean anything

yeah, I don't write enough markdown to remember the syntax, but it's pretty easy to do with a cheatsheet tab open.

If it was a little bit better, I'd say "I hope it becomes the de facto standard", but it's just kinda okay.

what I don't get is why isn't /italic/ _underline: *bold* [url]text[/url] jsut thething
2016-02-14 04509, 2016
ZaphodBeeblebrox
or is that too punbb?
2016-02-14 04524, 2016

CallerNo6 will always consider /this/ to be italics

or heh.. how about in settings, a person could chose that version of markdown/bb/whatever they know and understand best and then the system knows "x writes in y style markdown, convert to expected"

Like, I'm going to go to my grave not being able to remember when a wiki link needs double brackets.

(or when it needs a piple)
2016-02-14 04500, 2016

instead, make the site remember which *you* expect and use
2016-02-14 04504, 2016
ZaphodBeeblebrox
or hell, fukken, self define. like. there's fields for "for urls you except what: and then you put in, whatever, so a pipe, or a space or frikken ... @ whaever yo uwant
but I don't want individual sites to keep track of that for me. I want the editor to be a browser plugin or something.

2016-02-14 04513, 2016
ZaphodBeeblebrox
it stored which site had which things and then you select you' decisions and it does the conversions before you click "post" or "save" (optionally a button that says "transpose" or smth)
2016-02-14 04519, 2016
ZaphodBeeblebrox
"just type in whatever type of markdown you're used to, then click the "transpose" button. and "markdownery" does the rest! it remembers which site uses which format and trasnaltes your version into theirs! never remembering which site makes urls with pipe and which use a space is a thing of the past! download markdownery today!"
