As someone who had tried to implement a modern rich text editor with custom plugins, this seems like a terrific solution to a real problem. I had used a fairly nice wrapper around contenteditable[0], but this seems like a much more featureful, easily extensible option. The other options (CKEditor seemed most popular) are heavyweight, complex, poorly documented solutions that don't seem amenable to easily creating lightweight plugins, modules, etc.<p>I have high hopes for what these guys produce.<p>EDIT: Just wanted to add that looking through the API docs, it seems to solve exactly the problems I had. Would have made a measurable difference to my business to have had this, if it does what it says it does.<p>[0] <a href="http://mindmup.github.io/bootstrap-wysiwyg/" rel="nofollow">http://mindmup.github.io/bootstrap-wysiwyg/</a>
This project looks nice, but I have used a few of WYSIWYG editors (mainly HTMLarea/Xinha and FSCK/CKeditor) and must say I was NOT impressed with the calls I got from customers: "If I am using IE6 and when edit text I get lots of newlines... But if I edit the same text in FF, it is all garbled. Why is that?"<p>Granted, it's been a few years so this might be solved by now, but to me the final solution was WYMeditor [0]. It makes sense too - user should enter content and mark it as title / text / subtitle, add images and similar... but the design of the final page should be left to designer, not to user. What if you want to change the design sometime later?<p>[0] <a href="http://www.wymeditor.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wymeditor.org/</a>
This looks excellent, I think I'll use it to replace my current solution. I use hallo.js (on blogmask.com) which is also great but falls short when you want to add custom controls or styling. I've had a lot of trouble with images, etc.
this looks cool and super easy to add bidirectional HTML <> markdown support similar to the demo i did for redactor-js here: <a href="http://leeoniya.github.io/redactor-js/" rel="nofollow">http://leeoniya.github.io/redactor-js/</a><p>using <a href="https://github.com/leeoniya/reMarked.js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leeoniya/reMarked.js</a> and <a href="https://github.com/chjj/marked" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/chjj/marked</a><p>may just have to do this after work today if no one gets to it first.
Quill looks promising,but pasting from word doesn't seem to work.Most editors built today focus a lot on semantic tags generated for bold(<strong>) and not much on paste from word.Would love to see an editor that implements proper paste from ms word
Source [0] is sane oop coffeescript. Will probably find a use for this.<p>[0] - <a href="https://github.com/quilljs/quill" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/quilljs/quill</a>
As someone who has struggled with this problem recently, thank you. I've spent a good portion of the last week battling irritating Redactor issues such as global variable conflicts and literally hardcoded PHP path values.<p>I will be very happy if this turns out to work as good as it looks at a first glance.
Looks promising! Looking through the toolbar customization, I couldn't tell how easy it would be to add a toolbar element that isn't one of the existing behaviors -- for example, a toolbar element to bring up an emoticon pallette. Is that something that's currently supported?
Just to clear up any confusion: this is not the same as the Guardian’s “Scribe” project (<a href="https://github.com/guardian/scribe" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/guardian/scribe</a>). I believe Quill did used to be called Scribe, but they are not the same. (Similar in purpose - take your pick.)
Your 'try me out' section is cut in half, with a need to scroll down, on a large laptop screen.<p>Having that footer be a fixed overlay may be fine on giant desktop monitor, but the website is pretty terrible on a smaller one.<p>edit: I stand corrected. It stays awful no matter what the screen size...
Forgive the TL;DR; - the examples on the site don't include any image inserting. How would I go about adding image insertion capability? Would the idea be that I build/find an image handler plugin module and add it in?
Next to CKEditor, I presume this is significantly less complicated and smaller, but how does it compare in terms of compatibility? As I understand it CKEditor does well on a lot of older browsers.
This looks much better than its counterparts so far!<p>I couldn't figure out how to remove a URL from a selection of text.<p>It would be awesome to see an example of how to let the user upload an image.
Congrats on releasing Quill! I've been following the development since it was called "Scribe" and I'm excited it's released.<p>I noticed there seems to be support for block level formatting (e.g. "h1"), but it doesn't look like it's been implemented yet. What's your plan for handling bullets, headings, block quotes, and other block level formatting options?
Looks fantastic, but I can't use it in my projects because it only seems to support very recent versions of IE (9+), Android (4.3+) and iOS/Safari (7+). I don't care about IE, but I do need to support Android phones from 2012.<p>Is there really no way to write a modern rich text editor that remains compatible (and/or degrades gracefully) with slightly older browsers?
The biggest issue I've had with this sort of editor is pasting from word or other programs which attempt to insert formatting, how are you planning handling that? Do you currently strip out spurious tags received like comment tags? It'd be great to see everything stripped except b and i tags for example.
This looks great, I've been using Summernote but that's tightly coupled with Bootstrap.<p><a href="http://hackerwins.github.io/summernote/" rel="nofollow">http://hackerwins.github.io/summernote/</a>
Great guys! I'm looking for one feature in rich text editor, which is bulletin points with checkmark instead of rounded dots, but I couldn't that in any RTEs.
looks great, was really desperately looking for something like this for a personal project earlier this year, but couldn't find anything that I was perfectly happy with... ended up using a jQuery plugin, but bugs out quite a bit across browsers. Guess I'll give this a try and see if I could replace the old one :)
looks really nice! Though the most important thing for me would be an easy way to add image upload functionality. Most opensource editors seem to only support insert image from URL, but some standard plugin for PHP upload, or any other language, would make it a winner for me.
