There are many possible editors. In some cases, it's possible to switch between them.

Editor Notes
Tiki syntax Rock-solid textual syntax
HTML WYSIWYG CKEditor4 CKEditor4 is no longer supported. CKEditor is designed for HTML. Until Tiki28
Wiki Inline Editing Preference name: wysiwyg_inline_editing
Tiki syntax WYSIWYG CKEditor Less reliable but nice when it works because it maintains Tiki syntax instead of HTML when possible. Preference name: wysiwyg_htmltowiki
Tiki-Flavored Markdown with TOAST UI Editor Beta quality. The TOAST UI Editor has not seen activity in over 2 years. Offers side-by-side text editor and preview vs WYSIWYG.
HTML WYSIWYG Summernote Summernote is designed for HTML. Starting in Tiki29
Tiki-Flavored Markdown without TOAST UI Editor This needs to be added to Tiki


Things to watch out for

  • Version history: Some editors will make version comparisons difficult (phantom edits, different output for different browsers, etc.)
  • WYSIWYG editors are designed for HTML or Markdown. It's less reliable to add content that goes beyond what editor is designed for like Wiki Plugins
  • HTML WYSIWYG permits for flexibility for page layout
  • Tiki syntax (especially with Wiki Plugins) permits cleaner content and more powerful content reuse.
  • PluginWYSIWYG is a great way to have a WYSIWYG-HTML editor within a wiki page.
