Hi Sanne I wouldn’t suggest to my customers that they have to use markdown to edit something - I know them well enough to know that they would not like that idea. As it happens, online editing has come up again recently with one particular customer who felt that the quality of online editors that are “out there” is far superior to TinyMCE (ok, I’m using an old version but still).
The expectation of users is that they can edit like Word; they can copy & paste from Word; they want to have tables like Word. Markdown might be there to create a much-less-technical markup than HTML, but it is still a technical process they’d have to be taught, and it is nowhere near what end users expect > In essence it lets the author focus on content, instead of layout & styling > (which is defined by a designer). > You need to educate people on why it is better than WYSIWYG's (like TinyMCE), > preferably by example. > I don’t agree - markdown does not _remove_ the ability to specify styling, it just moves the styling into a separate offline process. Also there are a lot of editors out there which do a passable or better job of wysiwyg editing - it’s just that it is not a trivial project to undertake.
