btw, when i check pagedown, it has no support for image drop-drag.. which is really weird for recent days. Should we move to another WYSIWYG Editors?

piggybit commented 4 years ago

@Natay i found django-ckeditor seems to be good wysiwyg for django, with very active community. However, when i look into inplace_form.html, we have a mix of custom Mardown and UI and could make it hard to migrate to any other WYSIWYG, so do i wonder if you have any plan to migrate?

ialbert commented 4 years ago

we will stay with Markdown based editors. We used to have CKEditor in some early versions but turned out to cause more trouble than worth. Code was hard to edit, html gets wonky etc.

Our audience should be technical enough to be able to understand and deal with Markdown.

@Natay i still do not see pagedown editor in new post and in reply part, could you check? Thanks.
