^_^ In other words, you want the WYSIWYG editors to pickup on things
like [[ and == and such, and convert that into the output when the
closing form has been entered.
ie: Type "[[" it picks up on that, you continue typing "Foo", and then
once you hit the second ] in "]]" it recognizes that and immediately
converts that into a link to Foo.
Thats something a lot of people want, and it's something I believe they
know about, just probably take time for them to implement.

Those are kind of the same thing now. We gave up with the previous
ones we tried and instead tried to make FCKeditor work.

The problem is mostly on edge cases but we haven't tested it out a lot
yet. It's installed here:

I know this mail is ~2 months old (sorry, I'm scanning through the past 6 months of
wikitech
to catch up), but ideally typing things like "== test ==" and "----"
into FCKeditor's visual
mode would insert the relevant visual elements, but it doesn't. However if you type
those things
in visual mode, then go to wikitext mode, then go back to visual mode, then you get them
showing
is a wysiwyg way. So I guess what I'm saying is that this would be a nice
characteristic for a
wysiwyg editor to have:
Random wikitext + visual mode === Random wikitext + visual mode-->wikitext
mode-->visual mode
(hopefully that makes sense!)
