Hi
I have been tearing my hair all of today trying to create a lengthy document
in the WYSIWYG editor, so i totally agree :)
Here is one way to improve the WYSIWYG stability:

However, i was thinking, until the new GWT editor is ready, would the bugs
in the current editor be patched? I guess not but I could be wrong. This
leaves "corporate users" with no choice till the GWT editor is ready, maybe
end of the year.
A great option would be to improve the end user experience in the Wiki
editor, IF the effort is not significant. Something on the lines of
Dokuwiki, which has a toolbar for most Wiki editing functions so that the
end user need not necessarily remember the Wiki syntax. (Image attached).
I dont really understand the complexity of implementing this though.

James,
I too have issues with the WYSIWYG editor messing up pages. When it works
-
its great, but when it seems to randomly mess you edits up - ahhh! It
doesn't seem to translate to wiki markup very well sometimes. I understand
there might be a new better WYSIWYG editor being developed perhaps maybe
available this September. Meantime I'd suggest using the wiki editor -
it's
quite good when you get used to it and it doesn't mess up your pages
although it doesn't quite have all the features available that the WYSIWYG
editor.
Regards,
Richard

Subject: [xwiki-users] Editing with Wysiwyg
I am having major difficulties with the Wysiwyg editor in both 1.3.2 and
1.4.
If I use Wysiwyg, the text font displayed while in the editor is not the
same as the final wiki page. Often I have several lines that are in a
different font, even though they looked the same while using Wysiwyg. I am
also finding random issues. For example, today I changed the font colour
of
an index page and lost all of the links. I am using a standard Toucan
skin.
Is it common to have problems with the Wysiwg editor, or is there a fix I
haven't found? I am finding I am spending as much time fixing the
appearance
of pages as writing them. Alternatively, is there another wiki with better
editing.
Thanks
