Hi Vincent, I have found another very interesting stuff: the contenteditable attribute [1,2]. Although saving changes to wikitext from DOM is still quite tricky, this stuff can ease implementing WYSIWYG tremendously. In fact, CKEditor uses this, although their task is simpler since they save the DOM itself and in TW we have to either convert it back to wikitext or somehow sync while editing..
Best regards, Yakov.
