There is a promising WYSIWYG-Editor based on Markdown: https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor.

It supports editing with in Markdown-Mode with Preview or in WYSIWYG-Mode where the user does not be familiar with Markdown at all. It also stores text in Markdown and is based on Javascript.

There are still some technical questions open:

  1. Will existing Markdown text as stored already in db be broken when using this editor?
  2. How to integrate macros that will be rendered to HTML after the text is fetched from db?
  3. How to render macros just in time?
  4. How to add custom buttons with macros of plugins for example?
  5. Is it possible to integrate the editor with all text fields having the wikitoolbar enabled?
  6. How to upload and store files securely?
  7. How to export to PDF?
  8. Would it be possible to use a template language in the future for custom dynamic reports?

All these processes must be able to integrate in order not to loose features.
