Two comments
Wow, I really like it! Looks very promising! Two comments:
- Tabs and spaces are intermixed, making the code unnecessarily difficult to read
- It would be cool if all text strings could be separated into an extra file so the app can more easily be localized

- Thanks for your comment. The code is currently early alpha and I have just begun to move it online to Wikipedia instead of working on my local copy. Tabs are set to 2 spaces in my editor and the code contains lots of junk. It will be cleaned up when most features work (i.e. when it goes beta). After that I (or somebody else - you?) might start work on the localization issue. Cacycle 16:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
A couple bugs?
I'm really impressed by this tool! I'm puzzled, however, that wikiEd is getting rid of
wherever it finds it – I tend to place them before en dashes to prevent line breaks before punctuation. Is this by design? I also noticed that your wikiEd always replaced closing </del>
tags with this code fragment:
class="wikEdInline"></del><!--wikEdListLine-->
Or:
class="wikEdInline"></del><!--wikEdListBlock-->
I wish you the best of luck in developing this tool! I think a syntax-highlighting tool like yours would have a much better chance of adoption at Wikipedia than any WYSIWYG wiki editor that I've seen so far.

- Thanks for your feedback. The &bsp;-thing is a bug. I can't replicate the del example. Can you show me a page were it happens. Thanks, Cacycle 05:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Excellent
Your editor looks very nice. Next weekend I plan to have a closer look at the your source code and I will consider re-shaping my little script as an add-on to wikiEd. My script gives suggestions to common errors and formatting issues, while editing an article.
I saw you have the same scrolling issue which I had. Take a look at User:Zocky's SearchBox.js (function srSync()) if you haven't already — it is not a perfect solution, but it seems the best one so far. I've also adapted it to my function $showTextareaSelection(ta).
Keep up the good job. --Cameltrader 13:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Glad to see my code gets reused, though that functions is iffy. There are cleaner ways to do it, I think. Also, here's a thing that an editor like this should have: User:Zocky/Link Complete. Zocky | picture popups 01:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Great but a query
Hi - WikiEd looks very good indeed. However when it is in my monobook the "normal" wiki editor bar disappears (other than the "table" button strangely). Intentional, glitch, me? Thanks anyway --Herby talk to me 15:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- It was intentionally and will be a customizable option in wikEd. User:Cacycle/wikEd
And not sure that warning templates work properly with it. The one I just tried didn't anyway! --Herby talk to me 16:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- What do you mean with "warning template", how can I test that? Cacycle 02:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I guess [1] will explain it better than I can & is what it looked like - the template did not seem to expand ( being the one I used. Now with hindsight I can't see why this would have been an editor problem but you know how people jump to conclusions... so maybe wiki rather than the editor? --Herby talk to me 12:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
