An editor like https://github.com/lepture/editor which shows some Markdown style rendering as you are editing (not full WYSIWYG though) could be very helpful. Demo at http://lab.lepture.com/editor/
I like this because it doesn't attempt to do a full WYSIWYG exact render, so we don't have to worry about some of our customizations. Yet it does do enough formatting that people will notice if they unintentionally cause formatting with a `_` or a `*`. And it even helps with the sneaky gotcha of a bullet list without a preceding blank line (it doesn't work, it is rendered as italics) --- ** [tickets:#6822] Option to bypass or escape markdown** **Status:** open **Milestone:** unreleased **Created:** Thu Oct 31, 2013 08:41 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema **Last Updated:** Fri Jan 10, 2014 08:58 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody All textareas take markdown input, but if you don't realize that and just type or paste something (e.g. code sample, log file) then certain chars may convert into markdown syntax and not render as actually intended. A checkbox near preview & formatting help buttons could be added. (Maybe expand to a full toolbar to help with syntax some day). Changing the data storage for every artifact and the render calls for every artifact is a lot of work and makes the whole system a bit more complex. If we can use markdown syntax to escape the whole content of the entry, that could work out pretty well I think.
