Research tools for markdown WYSIWYG

[farmaazon]

When implementing tables in doc panel, Lexical proved to be problematic: we would need to actually clone, modify (and then maintain) the plugin for markdown (details here). We should consider trying other tools for markdown wysiwyg, perhaps their problems will be smaller:

• As we already use codemirror (and are happy with it), we could consider using some tool based on it (https://github.com/davidmyersdev/ink-mde)
• Milkdown was initially used for first implementation of docpanel
• Possibly others

We should try to make a prototype using any tool to check, bearing in mind that we want to have:

• The existing features (integration with y-docs, images loaded from Language Server)
• Tables
• Node Widgets (parsed from sort of code block)

Future requirements to keep in mind:

• Easy upload of images.
• Able to have Table in the markdown.
• Ability to have linked widget
• Line of a markdown
• That ties to a widget inside a component.
• References to the widget in the graph editor.
• Copy and Paste support for widgets and vizzes into doc.
• Ability to have a linked visualisation.
• Ability to have code highlighting for enso code.
• Support for enso:// URLs.

Keziah Wesley reports a new STANDUP for today (2024-09-20):

Progress: Establishing documentation editor priorities. Fixed #11114, #11140. Refactored backend parser APIs to encapsulate thread-specific state access within implementation, simplifying usage in Java and eliminating the possibility of concurrency bugs in parser usage. It should be finished by 2024-09-26.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #10669 task. Continue documentation editor research.
