Two comments

Wow, I really like it! Looks very promising! Two comments:

• Tabs and spaces are intermixed, making the code unnecessarily difficult to read
• It would be cool if all text strings could be separated into an extra file so the app can more easily be localized

Thanks for your comment. The code is currently early alpha and I have just begun to move it online to Wikipedia instead of working on my local copy. Tabs are set to 2 spaces in my editor and the code contains lots of junk. It will be cleaned up when most features work (i.e. when it goes beta). After that I (or somebody else - you?) might start work on the localization issue. Cacycle 16:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

A couple bugs?

I'm really impressed by this tool! I'm puzzled, however, that wikiEd is getting rid of wherever it finds it – I tend to place them before en dashes to prevent line breaks before punctuation. Is this by design? I also noticed that your wikiEd always replaced closing </del> tags with this code fragment:

class="wikEdInline"></del><!--wikEdListLine-->

Or:

class="wikEdInline"></del><!--wikEdListBlock-->

I wish you the best of luck in developing this tool! I think a syntax-highlighting tool like yours would have a much better chance of adoption at Wikipedia than any WYSIWYG wiki editor that I've seen so far.

Thanks for your feedback. The &bsp;-thing is a bug. I can't replicate the del example. Can you show me a page were it happens. Thanks, Cacycle 05:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Excellent

Your editor looks very nice. Next weekend I plan to have a closer look at the your source code and I will consider re-shaping my little script as an add-on to wikiEd. My script gives suggestions to common errors and formatting issues, while editing an article.

I saw you have the same scrolling issue which I had. Take a look at User:Zocky's SearchBox.js (function srSync()) if you haven't already — it is not a perfect solution, but it seems the best one so far. I've also adapted it to my function $showTextareaSelection(ta).

Keep up the good job. --Cameltrader 13:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see my code gets reused, though that functions is iffy. There are cleaner ways to do it, I think. Also, here's a thing that an editor like this should have: User:Zocky/Link Complete. Zocky | picture popups 01:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Great but a query

Hi - WikiEd looks very good indeed. However when it is in my monobook the "normal" wiki editor bar disappears (other than the "table" button strangely). Intentional, glitch, me? Thanks anyway --Herby ^{talk to me} 15:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

It was intentionally and will be a customizable option in wikEd. User:Cacycle/wikEd

And not sure that warning templates work properly with it. The one I just tried didn't anyway! --Herby ^{talk to me} 16:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean with "warning template", how can I test that? Cacycle 02:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I guess [1] will explain it better than I can & is what it looked like - the template did not seem to expand ( being the one I used. Now with hindsight I can't see why this would have been an editor problem but you know how people jump to conclusions... so maybe wiki rather than the editor? --Herby ^{talk to me} 12:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
