Bootstrap-wysihtml5: a simple, beautiful wysiwyg editor

Looks promising! Might be an interesting additional editor candidate in Create (<a href="http://createjs.org/" rel="nofollow">http://createjs.org/</a>). Though, Create is MIT and the wysihtml5 library used by this is GPL, so the licenses are not compatible.<p>Currently we use Hallo (<a href="http://bergie.github.com/hallo/" rel="nofollow">http://bergie.github.com/hallo/</a>) by default, and Aloha Editor (<a href="http://aloha-editor.org/" rel="nofollow">http://aloha-editor.org/</a>) with bundled integration.

Looks very nice, but I was hoping it would work more like Google Docs:<p>* The styles dropdown should update to reflect the style currently under the cursor.<p>* Hitting tab on a list should further indent the list item.<p>Those were just a couple of things I immediately noticed.

This is why I love open source. 30 minutes ago I was thinking "I wonder if there's a WYSIWYG editor that integrates with Bootstrap."<p>And now, here I am, reading about it.

It looks like the beginning of a very nice project!<p>I had a similar itch to scratch a few weeks ago when I wanted a nice simple editor for a project and modified the pagedown editor (the markdown editor from stackoverflow) to use bootstrap. Its here: <a href="https://github.com/samwillis/pagedown-bootstrap" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/samwillis/pagedown-bootstrap</a><p>You can see a demo here: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2690345/pagedown-bootstrap-demo/demo/browser/demo.html" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2690345/pagedown-bootstrap-demo/demo...</a>

Nice presentation and looks to have real promise, but the source output looks just as bad as WordPress (unless it is just the Developer Tools). I see spans with inline CSS, empty divs and br's all over the place. It doesn't look very clean but if I am wrong please correct me.<p>Also, for practical use it needs indent controls for lists and there is a need to deal with links.

What gets sent when the form is submitted?

Totally broken for me. Firefox has weird selection behavior (trying to italicize one word often catches the previous one, next one, whole sentence - or works normal), with Chrome the buttons don't work at all and with Camino (older Gecko engine), I can't even place the cursor.

I don't want to be the spoil sport, but even though this looks nice, am I the only one here that still believes in hand-coding HTML?<p>(Disclaimer: I'm a zealot. I don't believe in IDEs, and I'll take grep over Eclipse any day of the week. <a href="http://xkcd.com/378/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/378/</a>)

Sigh. Deal-breaker. Hitting 'Enter' creates &#60;br&#62;s and not &#60;p&#62;s and it looks like they don't plan to change it: <a href="https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/issues/13" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/issues/13</a>

I currently use fckeditor for all client projects and I really want an alternative, so this looks perfect. I know it's probably not on top of your features list but inserting images would be a great add-on, most of my clients need it.

It certainly is simple and beautiful but it also needs to be functional. I selected H2 and typed some characters, then backspaced to the beginning where it reverted to normal text but did not update the UI (still showed as H2).

The new Basecamp uses wysihtml5 and we're quite happy with it!

Now THIS is what I was looking for. Simple. Clean. Integrates with bootstrap. In my case I need even less functionality. Just bold and lists. Will try this one!

Very nice, although I'd say the icon for numbered lists could be better; right now it simply looks like a chunkier version of the bulleted list button.

This is pretty awesome, the only issue I have is it seems to escape my HTML automatically preventing me from using it as the editor for my blog :/

ok I am excited for this. Looks great and is super clean. If you could add support for predefined styles in the drop-down along with links and simple image insertion it could handle 90% of my wysiwyg needs for projects.<p>Of all the wysiwyg editors out there it seems that most are just too bloated and the lightweight ones are just too "ugly".

This looks amazing! I've been using TinyMCE on a few projects, but I'm definitely taking this for a spin. Great job!

Given what I can do in notepad, this doesn't quite do it for me. Yes, notepad is not what-you-see-is-what-you-get, but it doesn't take that much to create a HTML repel and that followed by alt-tab allows me pretty much every thing I want. I am uncomfortable with 'some one else's idea of a good time' when it comes to feature selection---no &#60;hr/&#62;? Etc. Good idea in general, just not for me, not yet.

Seems like the start of a great project! Would love to see somebody add in support for mobile browsers too :)

None of these wysiwig editors work properly on an ipad. I bet it is the same for smart phones.

Neat, but doesn't work at all. Just the lists.

there's a non trivial lag when typing for me on chrome, makes it pretty hard to use

Just what I needed! Thanks!
