GUI for Markdown

[gurksallad]

Hi

We use the MantisBT Formatting-plugin to enable markdown and this works well. However, some of the users are having a hard time remembering all the tags and shortcuts, despite having printed a "cheat sheet" for use.

Question: is there any sort of a gui / toolbar that adds markdown tags? (Just like this forum has got a toolbar right above where I write text; if I click "B" tags are added and I can add the text to be bold)

+1 our users would 100% benefit from this

A quick search turned this up:

https://github.com/ejyothi/MantisBT-MarkDownEditor

I haven't used it but am going to try and install now.

This gives buttons at the top but is not WYSIWYG in the editor window. Having the latter would make this a lot more appealing to end users whose job is caring for patients, they are used to word and would be 100% more comfortable with WYSIWYG editing.

I just tested this plugin and it works okay. It's not WYSIWYG but there is a "Preview"-button so you can, well, preview before you add the ticket note.

It doesn't handle " or < or > very well though.
